Pride and Prejudice

I'd never read this before, and was reading aloud to the kids, so the eccentricities of the language were particularly hard for me to get used to, but right around halfway, I was able to read it without stumbling over myself and thankfully stuff started happening.

Because of the dated language and my inexperience with other books of the sort, a lot of the things I love about reading just weren't here. I like little nuances in writing, but if I can barely follow what's happening at all, I'm not going to get it.

So three stars feels low for a classic, but it's a personal enjoyment rating, not an objective review. It's good, but just not my thing.
