Pride and Prejudice is a beautifully written novel and is a must-read for all young girls (and boys). It provides a depth into 19th century English life, which really encourages the reader to sit back and reflect upon the differences and similarities between our lives and theirs. There is also a strong difference in the writing that - while it may take longer to grasp and get adjusted to - is refreshing. Elizabeth is a strong, defiant character that is highly admirable to the reader. Each tale of every individual character is intricately woven and deeply enthralling. Austen's irony is prevalent throughout the book and was much appreciated. It was a novel I couldn't put down that sparked my interest for reading more classics, especially others by Jane Austen. If you have the chance to read this book, I highly suggest it.
