Guess what? I'm really shocked at the fact that I'm not done the book, and yet really excited that the book isn't done yet. I'd just like to say that if anybody has ever THOUGHT about reading this book, they should. I was captivated by the first few pages. It is just amazing! The dialogue just blows me away. Honestly, it does. During independent reading in english class, every couple of minutes, I'd just suddenly burst out in laughter. [just ask shazena or fahmida, i'm pretty sure I interrupted their reading by laughing so much] I'm sure I mentioned it before but it's just so darn witty. Especially the dialogue btwn Elizabeth and Darcy. Here's the first line:
"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in posession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife"
Isn't that just amazing? This line just drew me in. Okay. well. I think I should start DESCRIBING the book now. So, in the beginning of the book, Elizabeth meets Darcy, and they both dislike each other. Darcy doesn't like her because of his pride, holding him back from mixing with other social classes. He even says that Elizabeth "isn't pretty enough to tempt [him]." Elizabeth doesn't like him because of her prejudice against him.
BUT guess what happens? About 20 pages into the book, Darcy changes his opinion of her, stating that she has "pretty eyes," so basically he fancys her. But everything backfires later, when this guy named "Mr.Wickham" enters the scene, and tells Elizabeth about how mean Mr. Darcy is, and how Darcy was jealous of him because Mr.Darcy's father liked Mr.Wickham better than him. Because of this jealously, Darcy supposedly denied Mr.Wickham's inheritance money from his father's will.
On a side note, Elizabeth's sister and Mr. Darcy's friend like each other and hopefully they'll get married <3
OHH. and I forgot. theres another character called "Mr.Collins" and he is basically their cousin, but he wants to marry Elizabeth. So yeah. As you can see, the plot thickens, and the love triangles get bigger. so yeahhh. thats pretty much all i'm gonna say, so that i dont ruin anything else.
oh and I'm supposed to post some questions I have about the book, right? Well....at the moment, I'm trying to figure out whether or not Mr. Wickham was lying to Elizabeth, or whether Mr. Darcy was that mean to take away the money Mr. Wickham was supposed to get from Mr. Darcy's father's will? And umm...I'm wondering what's going to happen to Mr. Collins. I am 100% sure that Elizabeth will reject him, but who will Mr. Collins marry? He might marry one of her other sisters or somehthing. I have absolutely no clue, and I can't wait to find out!
p.s. don't you think 'Elizabeth' is just the coolest name ever =D

OMG. i want this book so bad. like i said, LET ME BORROW IT WHEN YOU'RE DONE!
i saw the movie on saturday. and then again on saturday. i want to tell you SO bad what happens, but since you saw the Bollywood version of the movie, "Bride and Prejudice", you can probably relate that movie to the book. When i saw the english movie, i could totally relate the two. like, in the indian movie, Mr.Collins is "Mr.Kohli". yeahh. u remember now, dont you! =] . u can put it 2gether, cant you?
P.S. yupP Elizabeth is the coolest name EVR! <3
Haha~ I love your note at the book... ur p.s. haha that's so funny. The book sounds really interesting and funny since you laugh every couple of mintues. Also, I like the quote that you put in your blog. I have a question though. Is the book all dialogues or does it continue on towards narrative point of view?
