After reading the book they have zero interest in watching the miniseries, movie, or any other adaptations out there.

I know they're missing out. I'll give it some time. If I put it on now they'll just run out of the room.
Maybe if they made it into an anime cartoon they'd give it a go...

No Colin Firth in a wet shirt will never ever be upt

You could always try the film Bride and Prejudice, which is a fun Bollywood take on it.

I was given it as a child, along with a couple of others. As much of an avid reader as I was, this was too 'old' and I couldn't get into it. I didn't learn how to appreciate classics until GCSE's and English Lit at A level.

I think children should always be led into reading classics sideways, not head on.

Is it going to be too bloody & military-ish for me? So far it’s not bad, though it’s a little slow

I bounced off it twice (but both times it was a library borrow and I got busy before I could find time to read it) I agree it was slow but it gets such good reviews. And I think @DannieB liked it.
