What can I say about this book that has not already been said?Wow!!
It does have some difficult to decipher language,but once you get the hang of it,it really is an enjoyable read.A great love story.A story of a girl who was very unconventional for her time and was loved for it none the less.Or to put it another way.....two thumbs up!

I also ran out and rented the 2005 movie version,(which was scarce around here,originally I intended to buy it,but it was not to be had!).I believe them to have been spot on with Elizabeth,appearance and all.I pictured originally Colin Firth in my head while reading the book but I prefer Matthew Macfayden.I also learned through some research that Colin Firth,indeed,did appear in the 1995 version,which I have never seen(I probably pictured him residually from his character from Bridget Jones' Diary,Mark Darcy,which ironically enough I think comparisons could be drawn between that movie and this book,which I am sure has been said before.)

The movie followed as closely as I believe possible, save making it 6 hours long,although I am sure I would have enjoyed that length as well.My fellow viewer,Mandy enjoyed it immensely without having read the book previously.So we both reccomend the movie as well!
