Manga Classics: Pride & Prejudice Hardcover [Hardcover]

Pride and Prejudice is a romantic comedy about the importance of marrying for love, not simply for money, despite the social pressures to make a good match. This adaptation retains all of the charm and fun of the characters and situations, and is a great way to expose those without the time or inclination to pick up the novel. I cant think of a better way to experience this story other than reading the original novel. School Library Journal P&P is an overly dramatic, incredibly silly romance with much miscommunication and swooning. It's a perfect shojo story though and transforms into manga very well. This is a great starter for kids or someone who wants to know the story. Or, like me, one who likes to experience the classics in all formats. - Four Stars!
