I liked it a lot specially characters formation, story plot and writer's writing style. I agree that on some places it was a little boring but over-all it was a good book.

I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.

Take heart. Our ship is a sturdy old thing. And the treasure is not lost.
Yes, I know this website is devoted to books, but I recently saw the Keira Knightly film adaptation of PaP, and I was sort of left feeling it didn't do the book as much justice as it might have. Did anyone think the same way, by any chance?
I really liked the set design, that was well done, as was the music, but Mr Collins! Oh my God, it wasn't what I had expected at all. I prefer David Bamber's performance in the BBC version, it was funnier and really seemed more like the character. This one was just creepy.
I also wasn't sure I liked the way they changed the crucial moments in the book, like the visit to Pemberley,the proposal at Rosings, the letter from home about Lydia, and the final proposals. They sort of changed things that I thought were fine as they were in the book. Of course, seeing as the book is basis of the film. They didn't really delve into the character of Wickham much either, which I didn't like that much, because it sort of took away the whole point of Elizabeth liking him and him being deceptive and the whole thing with Mary King which shows how much of a mercenary he is.
Well, apart from that it wasn't as bad as I had imagined it would be, but I suppose that it was average at best. Obviously nothing really can replace the book, but I think that the bbc probably have done the most accurate one. (Despite the wet shirt scene...wherever that came from).
