I never imagined she was ugly, just a bit more serious than her sisters. <br /><br />And I think you're right, it's hard when you try to review a classic. I read this one when I was fourteen and sometimes I'm still not sure I can explain how awesome it is.<br /><br />I hope you end up liking BBC's P&P, it's awesome - I highly recommend the BBC adaptation of Sense and Sensitivity (the recent one) it's lovely. <br /><br />Happy weekend<br /><br />Alex.<br />(Came by the hop, btw).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7570380944032826122.post-45748400948646979212010-10-09T10:49:57.775-05:002010-10-09T10:49:57.775-05:00So glad to see you so thoroughly enjoyed P&P! ...So glad to see you so thoroughly enjoyed P&P! I first read it around twelve/thirteen as well (after seeing a movie version of it which I really enjoyed). I absolutely love the Regency period and attending a ball would be so fabulous!<br /><br />In terms of movie adaptations, the very first one I saw was an earlier version than either the Keira Knightley or Jennifer Ehle one. That said, my favorite is the 6-hour BBC one - it sticks so closely with the original book and Colin Firth really brings something new to the character of Darcy. (I have seen this adaptation so often I can quote sections of it practically verbatim, lol).danyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07947267082874389487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7570380944032826122.post-88283697470718830282010-10-09T09:59:35.965-05:002010-10-09T09:59:35.965-05:00Am continuing to read P&P over the weekend now...Am continuing to read P&P over the weekend now that my Everest (Under the Dome) is over.
