Pride and Prejudice Facebook Style

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is a literary classic. It’s a must-read for any lover of English literature. And Facebook is the best social networking site around. It’s a must-have for any lover of today’s technologically advanced age. So, what do you get when you put Pride and Prejudice and Facebook together? Why, Austenbook, of course!

Austenbook is the story of Pride and Prejudice told in the style of Facebook updates. Facebook statuses, friend requests, events, “fan of” additions, notes, relationship statuses, and groups are all used to tell the story of Lizzie Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy, and all the other characters from Pride and Prejudice. It’s very creative and really well put together, and reading Austenbook makes me want to read Pride and Prejudice all over again. It can never be read too many times!

Of course, there are spoilers about Pride and Prejudice in Austenbook, so don’t read Austenbook if you have never read Pride and Prejudice and do not wish to be spoiled¹. But if you have read Pride and Prejudice, then Austenbook is really worth taking a look at!

1. If that is the case, I suggest you pick up a copy of Pride and Prejudice immediately and start reading! [↩]
