reader hard to follow

reader does not differentiate voice for different characters making dialogue sometimes confusing for understanding who might be speaking at the time.

Always a classic. Terrible narration though.

Northanger Abbey is one of my favorite Austen novels. I grabbed the audible version so I could listen on my way to work. It was hard to follow because the narrator used the same tone, speed through the whole book. It sounded like when you are being forced to read a paragraph in school and try to get through it fast as possible.

performance was poor

the performance was pretty poor. hardly inflection at the right moments and not many differences between characters voices that it made it harder to enjoy.

Peculiar accent.

It was read too fast and with a rather peculiar accent. I love the story, but was not too impressed by the reader.

Excellent

Austen develops the characters and draws you into their lives. Makes you question the motives of people as they affect others lives. Great book and well read by Agliotta.
