Is it really readable? I always imagined it would be a bit, well, Dickensy.

Or soppy?

If you want to watch a different filmed version definitely try the Jennifer Ehle/Colin Firth one, absolutely brilliant.

The book isn't a hard read at all. Fab book.

It's brilliant - and I am one of the few people on here who loves the KK version. No doubt you'll get loads of people coming along telling you to watch the BBC one - gah.

O I love Pride and Prejudice. I read it whenever I'm ill, it cheers me right up

Not hard going at all. Jane Austen is very readable.
