Pride and Prejudice

Austen, Jane. Pride and Prejudice. New York, New York. Barnes and Noble. 1979.

Pride and Prejudice, the original erotic novel, is a story of romance by Jane Austen. Unfortunately, the book is extremely overrated. The characters have a complete lack of depth and its take on Swedish 19th century politics is completely inaccurate.

Pride and Prejudice begins in Sweden with Emily, a women with no pride and a prejudice against ducks, but then Donald came into her life. He was the chairmen of the DRM (Ducks Rights Movement). Emily falls madly in love with Donald because he doesn’t care that her cheeks are way too rosy or that she wears the ugliest sweaters ever. Their relationship starts getting pretty out of control but the extremely inappropriate details will be left out of this review.

Meanwhile, news of Emily and Donalds love has spread to the Swedish Government. They couldn’t let this duck hater tarnish the reputation of one the finest organizations in Sweden. There was only one way to deal with this problem: they had to eliminate Donald.

The only man that could do the job was Bubba Texastwostep, the legendary Texan assassin. His persistence and pride in his work is unmatched, but the quality that shines more than any other, is “the raging rage that rages inside of him because he never became a ballroom dancer.”

Donald is completely unaware of his government’s intentions, so is completely surprised when a man is sitting in his living room. The man introduces himself as the Harbinger of Death, spinning his spurs while he talks. He draws his cattle prod.

Pride and Prejudice was decent but not as good as it was made out to be when it came out in 1920. It is only considered a classic because it started the Erotic Era of writing. If you haven't read this book already, go out and read it, but there is no point in reading it again.

3 out of 5 stars
