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
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!

I love the original, and I loved this GN adaptation!
So glad the #PemberLittens gave me an excuse to get a copy! And another square is done for #bookspinbingo!
This review is for issue 2 of 5 of the Pride and Prejudice graphic novel. I‘m enjoying it but don‘t love the artwork for the Bennet sisters. 4⭐️

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!!!!!
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.
I'm sure Mr Darcy was feeling #brokenhearted in this moment.

Throwback to that day I permanently put Jane Austen on my body.....💕💕💕(And yes, that‘s Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson in a frame.😍)
First #readathon is in the books! I had a few distractions I wasn't entirely anticipating, but overall, I'm pleased with the amount of reading I did (approx. 560 pages). Hope to join in on the next one!
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.
The countdown continues! I‘m saving this to read during the next #readathon.
I‘m not sure if it qualifies for #lesserknowncomics but it‘s all I‘ve got. 😳

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 😂

Some of favorites from my P&P collection! #samebookdifferentcover #aprilbookshowers @RealLifeReading
Just ok. I had a hard time getting past the terrible artwork.
Sorry these girls are supposed to be from the 18th century? 🙄😒🤔

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!
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 ?

Here's my stack! #24in48
1. Reading from Fitchburg, WI
2. Marathon #2
3. Heard on Litsy
4. Starting with trying to finish A Gentleman in Moscow
5. I work part time as an admin assistant, homeschool two of my three kids, and am looking forward to snuggling with each family member this weekend while I read.
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
Finished the first issue of Nancy Butler's graphic novel Pride and Prejudice. So fun!
Thanks to @intothehallofbooks and @hwheaties I discovered that the volume I had was all in one, and that they originally put the story in 5 volumes. Here are volumes 3, 4, and 5. Volume 1 and 2 were currently out, but hopefully I will get notified if they get them! #PrideAndPrejudice
Off to the library and coffee shop with my new hat.

My last TBRs stacked are all ones I've found through you awesome Littens!
I need an app that will automatically consolidate my Goodreads and Litsy TBRs. I try to remember to add the ones here over to Goodreads, but I'm perpetually behind. #lastbookstacked #seasonsreadings2016
#lastbookistacked IDK how I didn't know about this book, but it's now in the #TBR pile! #seasonsreadings2016 @RealLifeReading
