I loved a lot of classic novels, and though not a connoisseur of romance, I really enjoy reading Jane Eyre written by Charlotte Bronte. When deciding to read Pride and Prejudice, the most famous works of the famous romance novelist Jane Austen, I expect a lot of that novel, at least, as good as Jane Eyre. Turns out I was very disappointed after reading it. Fill in Pride and Prejudice strongly reflect the title (which, when translated into Indonesian independent means of Self-Esteem and Prejudice), the authors described a version of the 585 pages in the Indonesian translation. The story, though not exactly grooved slow, but the flat course, tend to be bland, without any significant conflict, and very predictable. Mostly just tells about the visit Mr. X to the Y, Z party, and the figures are admiring the houses they visit, sending compliments to either park or furniture. The greatest conflict that occurred in the latter part of the book was somehow not able to reach its climax, and what happened to the two main characters after the conflict has passed only able to make me thought, "Ealah, just like that???"

The interesting thing about Pride and Prejudice that in Indonesia there are three publishers almost simultaneously released the translated version.
