I liked this book in general, but I didn't include it in my favorites. For one thing, some parts of the story are difficult to be understood in our time, at least how Jane Austen intended them to be understood, such as the big concern of the Bennet family for Lydia, who would ruin herself and the others by running away with Wickham unmarried. I know how things were in the 19th century in terms of marriage; still, I wasn't moved by the affair. But leaving that aside, I just thought the whole narrative lacked some interest for me. It went on slowly, and sometimes I was impatient and skipped some chapters to see what happened next. Maybe the writing wasn't enthralling enough. Austen was a good writer, don't throw stones at me! but I can't help thinking that Jane Eyre was so much better than Pride and Prejudice.
