Okay, so you'll read a LOT of contradictions here, in this review. So bear with me 'till the end. I'm not really sure where I stand with this book, but I'll let you decide.
So, Pride and Prejudice. We've all heard it. Many of you had to read it in school or for a course in college. It was, simply put, an obligation to do so. Since English literature is not in Puerto Rico's curriculum (we had other excruciatingly boring books to read), I wasn't "obligated" to read this book. English literature was pretty much non-existent in Puerto Rico. We were too busy reading the same novel over and over; one was about an epileptic girl in a very poor village, another was a collection of poems from a woman that was depressed practically her whole life. An occasional "decent" book made it to our hands, but the rest was excruciating, a real challenge.
