Pride & Prejudice

Finally! I'm done with this book! I read from pages 246 to 299, the end of the book. I realized that it took longer than I thought it would to finish this book. Maybe next time I can read more often than only once a week.

This book ended at a very happy note. Elizabeth marries Mr. Darcy and her sister, Jane, marries Mr. Bingley. Both couples are more than happy, in love, and also very prosperous. All their friends and family are also happy for them and call them lucky. They live happily ever after.

That was a very short, summed up version of the resolution of this book. It's a Cinderella story, where girls who have great character and beauty but possess nothing meet their price charming and live happily ever after. I think the ending is very satisfactory, and does Jane Austen always have happy endings? I'm not sure...

One thing that was different about this book from modern books was the style of writing. It used big, fancy words and the sentence structures were very diverse. At first it was hard to follow along, but after some time I got used to it. This style of writing actually made the book more interesting (to me at least). It got me to think that it's too bad that modern day writers don't write like this. These days writings are so simple. In Pride and Prejudice, each sentence has a different taste to it and as a whole the book is very unique. She writes in a way that normal writers would never think of writing in, because it might confuse the readers. However, I enjoyed reading her book, eventhough, yes, it was difficult and I had to read carefully.
