Reviewed by Char3,5 Generally I enjoyed the book a lot, doing it as a buddy read was definitely a good choice as it turns out collective intelligence and the willingness to google stuff helps when you try to understand this classic that is so much more than a love story (basically it is everything BUT a love story for its most part). However, since we split it in three meetings analogous to the three volumes the rhythm did get me out of my reading groove (as I didn’t want to read ahead) which then turned into a small slump resulting into me not even finishing on time (I was also reading a very entertaining Christmas book on the side which surely didn’t help). After having issues for the first 70ish pages I finally managed to get the grip of the sentence structure and grammar of the English at the time and ended up loving it. Also loved all the satire and grain of salt and “Augenzwinkern” with which Austen tells the story of Lizzy, Darcy, Jane and Bingley. I did not enjoy the “side quest” at the end on Wickham and Lydia and it annoyed me a bit. Generally I need to learn more about Austen and am happy that we continue with more of her work as part of the buddy read group! Yay! Intrigued to (re)watch the movie now and see how it differs from the book.
