My Book Review

April 3, 2008 chic7854

Although for some reason my first one didn’t show up on the blog I am putting it first and then I will do the revisions under it. I will try to make the separation as clear as possible.

First Draft of Review

Although this novel was written many years ago the struggles of the characters still remain true. WIth all the twists and turns in this novel you will be swept up in the book. The novel contains the quest for marriage by the Bennett sisters. SInce they are women they will not recieve an inheritance so they need to marry in order to have money to survive. Things get interesting with the story when Mr.Darcy arrives. This novel is a necessary for men and women of any age. The novel pulls you in from the first page and you can’t put it down to the left.

Second Draft of Review

The novel Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is the story of 5 sisters during the 1800s in search of husbands. Since they are women they will not receive an inheritance so they need to marry in order to have money to survive.hide spoiler]and although he at first s The novel mostly revolves around the oldest sister Elizabeth whose quirk and sense of humor draws the reader in from the first scene. She acts untypical of the women of her time and although this sometimes gets her into trouble it never hinders her from looking out for her sisters and trying to further the interests of her family.

This is a conversation between Elizabeth Bennett and her love interest in the novel Mr. Darcy. “Elizabeth was much too embarrassed to say a word. After a short pause, her companion added, “You are too generous to trifle with me. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes are unchanged, but one word from you will silence me on this subject forever.” Elizabeth feeling all the more than common awkwardness and anxiety of his situation, now forced herself to speak; and immediately, though not very fluently, gave him to understand, that her sentiments had undergone so material a change, since the period to which he alluded, as to make her receive with gratitude and pleasure, his present assurances.”I read it because I had been told by many people that it was a really good book, so I sat down and read. The first time I read it I didn’t see all the hype about it but as I read it many many times again  it captured my heart. It is a novel that I still see its relevance today. Although this novel was written many years ago the struggles of the characters still remain true. With all the twists and turns in this novel you will be swept up in the book.  This novel is a necessary for men and women of any age. The novel pulls you in from the first page and you can’t put it down to the left. Although everyone no matter young or old or male or female should read it was originally meant for women between the ages of 16-45 who enjoyed love stories that contained some humor. This is a novel that I can’t put down once I start reading it and I know it will be the same with you.

  Hey Mara! So incredibly sorry about the comment…I wanted to comment on wednesday…and i saw that u didnt post it throughout the whole day….and i didnt see ur first review either….then i forgot about looking for it on thursday! Please forgive me!….anyways i thought that your revised book review was more broken down and more information was given.I loved the excerpt you included in the review because it heightened it. I also liked the universal reccomendation at end…”This is a novel that I can’t put down once I start reading it and I know it will be the same with you.” I thought that was a great way to conclude! The only thing i would have liked more are powerful verbs to bring out the story. Overall , i though the revised review was done well!
