Wonderful!

Juliet Stevenson has an equal gift at narration as Jane Austen does in the writing. What a treat!

Very enjoyable

Juliet Stevenson never disappoints. When I am listening to Ms. Stevenson read I can imagine Jane Austen reading her stories to me. Extremely enjoyable way to spend time.

much easier to listen to than actually read...

slow moving plot but the performer made it easier to engage with than trying to read the actual book.

Not one of my favorites but I do recommend

Some of this book wasn't really interesting to me because there was a lot of talking about things relating to rank in society, but other things that were more personal pulled my attention. Emma wasn't one of my favorite characters, but I didn't dislike her either. I wouldn't excitedly tell someone that this is a favorite must-read of mine, but I do recommend it. It's like you just can't help getting caught up in their gossip and wonder the who's and what's.

Best narrator of Austen EVER

I have listened to this audiobook at least 4 times - it is kind of like a security blanket for me. Juliet Stevenson brings characters to life in a lovely way. I thorough recommend it to all Austen lovers.

Ultimate Nirvana for the Austen Fan

The expressiveness of the brilliant Juliet Stevenson combined with Jane Austen's best work is sublime beyond description. Ms. Stevenson captures the nuanced traits of each character and fleshed them out so well that I prefer this audiobook to any version of the movie that I have seen.

Emma is brought to life by Juliet Stevenson

Because Emma is written in an older style, it can be hard to follow the sentence structure on the page, and Austen’s descriptive detail may disguise the humor and social satire of Emma.
The various characters can be hard to keep straight as the story progresses.
To the rescue comes the fabulous reader Juliet Stevenson, transporting us to the time and place and style of speech perfectly. She brings each character to life, so we get to know them, and can appreciate all the better Austen’s talents in creating them. Listening becomes a pleasure. Highly recommended.
