4 ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿EN: This book has been on my SuB for a long time and I finally get around to reading it. In this story, set in the 18th century, we follow young Elizabeth Benett and her sisters as they take the next step and along the way she meets the handsome and cheeky Mr. Darcy. I'm sure I know many because classic through books, advertising and films, I've heard about it myself and therefore knew a lot, but I was surprised by the story. This story has definitely inspired many stories and it was also interesting to see how the two characters go from enemies to lovers and accompany them along the way. I especially liked the scenes of Elizabeth and her family. I liked the bunch they had and the illustrated edition I had made everything livelier. I liked Elizabeth as a character and I also found Mr. Darcy interesting, even if he wasn't there enough, I liked the two of them together. I also liked the supporting characters and I especially liked the sisters. All in all I can only say that I liked it and I liked the setting as well as the drama, lost love and everything that went with it. I will definitely be reading more of Jane Austen's books in the future and look forward to it.DE: Dieses Buch steht schon sehr lange auf meinen SuB und endlich komme ich dazu es zu lesen. In dieser Geschichte spielt es im 18 Jahrhundert wo wir die Junge Elizabeth Benett und ihre Schwestern begleiten wie sie in die nächsten Schritt treten sollen und dabei lernt sie denn gutaussehenden und unverschämten Mr. Darcy kennen. Ich bin mir sicher viele kennen denn Klassik durch Büchern, Werbung und Filmen ich selbst habe bereits davon gehört und wusste daher einiges dennoch war ich überrascht von der Geschichte. Diese Geschichte hat bestimmt viele Geschichten inspiriert und es war auch interessant zu sehen wie die beiden Charakter von Enemies zu Lovers werden und sie dabei zu begleiten. Besonders haben mir die Szenen von Elizabeth und ihre Familie gefallen. Ich mochte denn Bund denn sie hatten und durch die Illustrierte Edition die ich hatte war alles lebendiger. Ich mochte Elizabeth als Charakter und auch Mr. Darcy fand ich Interessant auch wenn er zu wenig da war dennoch mochte ich die beiden zusammen. Auch die Nebencharakter fand ich gut und besonders die Schwestern haben mir es angetan. Im ganzen kann ich nur sagen das es mir gut gefallen hat und ich mochte sowohl das Setting als auch die Dramas, verflossene Liebe und alles was dazu gehörte. Ich werde definit in Zukunft mehr Bücher von Jane Austen lesen und bin gespannt darauf.
