I don't think I can write a review of this wonderful book for several reasons, foremost of which include that so many a better reviews have already been written over the years, and I doubt that anything I could write would do justice to the timeless romance. The book is absolutely amazing. It is a classic that has been loved for generations for many good reasons! I absolutely loved reading it. 
 I would like to state my opinion that the best movie adaptation is by and far the Keira Knightley movie. It was perfectly done and stayed true to the plot line of the book and used exposition in an expert manner. Things that were left out were inconsequential, such as Mrs. Hurst and the children of the Gardiners. There were so many letters in the book, but the movie dramatizes so well that only one letter is read aloud during the whole film, which kept it from getting monotonous. It's just the best movie, the BEST played Darcy that I've ever seen, and carried along at a pace that kept it from getting tedious as other Pride and Prejudice films inevitably turn out.
