And will Lizzy's beautiful sister Jane marry the handsome, wealthy Mr. Bingley, or will his brooding friend Mr. Darcy stand between their happiness? Pride and Prejudice #1-5.

I have to agree with many other reviewers of this graphic novel version. It was loyal to the original and told the story clearly, but I just wasn‘t overly impressed. I think it may have been that the art did not suit me as well as the Manga Classics version.

Admittedly, I‘m not a huge fan of graphic novels, nor have I read enough of them to be an expert, but it seems to me that having good artwork is important in this format?

Mostly loyal to the much beloved story, but I didn‘t really like the way anyone was depicted. Not even Darcy! 😳

⭐️⭐️1/2

Scochrane26 I‘ve read a couple of these & agree that the artwork isn‘t good. 4y
rabbitprincess I was similarly meh about this one. Liked the cover though! 4y
sprainedbrain @rabbitprincess if the art on the inside matched the cover I would have been happier! 😂 4y

This review is for issues 3 through 5 of the Pride and Prejudice graphic novel series. 4 and 5 were my favorites out of the bunch. I‘d give the series 4 stars overall. The artwork is mostly good but I really don‘t think they get the girls‘ faces quite right. Looks like they have tons of makeup on. But I‘d definitely recommend this to any P&P fans!

Good. This is a graphic novel that is universal as it is good introduction to the text and also for fans that have read the original text over and over. It uses the original text so the story hasn't been changed.

Ahhhhhh!!!!!

I‘ve been wanting this for my P&P collection for YEARS! I didn‘t get it when it first came out, figuring it‘d always be around and there were other editions I wanted first. Then, all of a sudden, I couldn‘t get it - it was available used but for $50+ and never in good condition . So I‘ve been looking once in a while and suddenly, was able to get a like-new copy at a reasonable price. And it‘s here!

Ahhhhhh!!!!!

Graciouswarriorprincess I love this one ! 5y

I read P&P about seven years ago, and again this month to take part in the #ArdentlyAustenBookClub I have watched the BBC mini-series a few times over the last several years so I was very familiar with the characters and events when I picked it up again. This in no way lessened the enjoyment of the re-read. I adore this novel. Austen‘s wit makes it exceedingly enjoyable.

This re-telling by Marvel was fun and I am glad to have stumbled upon it.

This was my last read for the #readathon. Unfortunately, it was kind of disappointing as some of my favorite lines were missing and I was also not a fan of the art work. I thought the cover was cute though.

Mdargusch I read the Tom Sawyer graphic novel for the readathon and I was disappointed too. The story was so dumbed down and the graphics weren't great. 7y

It's 4 am in my corner of the world, and I've been up for about an hour after a few hours of sleep 😴

The stack I have left to pull from includes Marvel's Pride & Prejudice, The Hobbit (for my daily chapter), The Bluest Eye, The Sun is Also a Star, Forgive Me Leonard Peacock, Good in Bed, The Bourbon Kings, and my not-pictured audiobook - Slaughterhouse-Five.

I feel like the strawberries balance out my gummy bear/donut snack nicely 😂

I'm cheating!

I thought my younger sister's Marvel superhero collection would help with this photo challenge, but she does mainly guys, so no help.

Still thinking along those Marvel lines, I chose to picture my P&P graphic novel! In a sense, Elizabeth Bennet is a superhero of a sort: bold and daring, witty, can hold her own, set fires out, and she has a heart, making her human!

TobeyTheScavengerMonk Plus she walked all that way to Netherfield when Jane was sick! Hard core! 8y

Hubby came downstairs to find me reading this! His comment "Another comic book?! After every novel you finish I find you reading comics?!" Yes Littens, you are converting me! This was a fun summery of Pride & Prejudice and I highly enjoyed it however the illustrations were not how I imagined The Bennet sisters looking like ?

vivastory Was really surprised that this was published by Marvel 8y
Cortg @vivastory I was too! There is an introduction about how the author wanted more comic books for girls and persuaded them that this story is still read frequently today and the movies have all been a success. 8y

Unpopular review time!

3/5 ⭐️
I love graphic novel retellings of classics, so I had to grab this from the library. That said, I hadn't read the book in so many years (at least 12), I had forgotten how boring it is and how awful some of the characters are! I feel like this is such an #unpopularopinion, but I can't help it. 😅 #classic #janeausten #marvel

If you normally don't read graphic novels but want to dip your toe into the pool and not feel intimidated ✅

If you love all things Jane Austen ✅

If you're unsure of Jane Austen because you had to read her in high school and hated it but would like another re-entry point ✅

If you're looking for a fun way to introduce the classics to your kids ✅

If you recognize that your brain may need some candy after processing all that was 2016 ✅
