There's a reason it's a Classic

Classic English literature. Describes the culture of the time and tells a story of angst, struggle,losses and gains. I found little if anything predictable the first time through. Subsequent reads/listenings of the story are, if not surprising in the storyline, still entertaining enough to hold my interest. Charlotte is the Bronte sister who gave us characters we came to know and love and care about.

Jane Eyre

This has book has been pure joy for this reader. Written and narrated so beautifully. No words could convey the beauty of this book. Special thanks to Alice Johnson for her narrative excellence. She brought the story alive for me.

excellent recording

Charlotte Bronte's novel is always a pleasure to revisit; however, it was only when I listened to the masterful recording by Alice Johnson that the beauty and poetry of Bronte's writing was truly apparent. So enjoyable to listen to!

Sounds like a ripped off Librivox recording

The narration was acceptable but her affected British accent was uneven, at times sounding forced. The narrator's announcing the title of the book before each chapter was annoying and unnecessary. The real problem here is that this reeks of being a free Librivox recording being sold on Audible and it STINKS !!!
