Book Reviews of The Annotated Pride and PrejudiceBook Review: notes on annotaions Summary: 4 Stars
This is a thoroughly worthwhile undertaking completed with great enthusiasm, competence and erudition. It was an excellent idea to include maps, illustrations and a chronology of events.
Not sure though that I would want similar treatment to be meted out to other novels by Jane Austen. It could become a tad systematic which would detract from one's enjoyment.
Book Review: Highly recommended -- worth every penny Summary: 5 Stars
For anyone wanting to understand Jane Austen and her times better, I highly recommend this book. I paid full retail in a bricks-and-mortar store and found it to be worth every penny. I will keep it to refer back to as I read other novels by Austen, and even other authors of the period. I'm very grateful to have this handy, helpful reference.
Book Review: A pleasure and a joy! Summary: 5 Stars
This was an anniversary gift and I have throughly enjoyed reading it. The text is on the left page and the coordinated annotations are on the right. Every page is filled with critical analysis, historical details and period images. What a wonderful way to read a favorite text - with more depth and understanding!
Book Review: price and precipitancy Summary: 5 Stars
it was a great price for the product and it came in pristine condition in a very timely fashion but the price of delivery!
it was the cheapest shipping fee and it came much faster than it claimed it would but the shipping price was more than the product. is there anything that can be done about that?
Book Review: Great book! Summary: 5 Stars
I really enjoy reading the "Classics" but sometimes the language is hard to decipher. The annotated version is just great! I understand what the characters are talking about and I can imagine life back in those times. I bought the book for leisure reading, but I'm sure this would be helpful for a student.
