Editorial reviews

Pride and Prejudice is an acclaimed work of literature, and one of Austen's most beloved novels. The story examines the manners of 19th-century British society by exposing the fortunes and misfortunes of the Bennett family. The family's main concern is marriage; Mrs. Bennett wishes to secure favorable unions for her five daughters. The story revolves around Elizabeth Bennett, whose pride prevents her from following her heart.

Flo Gibson's voice is enchanting and warm, making the listening experience indisputably pleasant. Gibson's British accent adds character to the performance, rendering it unforgettable.

Publisher's summary

Many consider this rich social commentary to be Jane Austen's finest novel. It is certainly among her more famous ones. Austen sets her entertaining study of manners and misconceptions against the backdrop of a class-conscious society in 18th century England.

Spirited, intelligent Elizabeth Bennett is alternately enchanted and affronted by Mr. Darcy. She is quick to suspend her usual, more rational judgment when it comes to him. She also is quick to believe the worst gossip about this haughty, opinionated man who soon manages to alienate Elizabeth and her family. But is the condescending air that Mr. Darcy wears an indication of his real character? Or has Elizabeth's pride gotten in the way of her chance for true romance?

Great story!

Would you listen to Pride and Prejudice again? Why?

I really enjoyed the story and character development.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Lizzy or Elizabeth was my favorite character, because she is not easily fooled and admits when she is wrong.

What didn’t you like about Flo Gibson’s performance?

It was a little difficult to tell the difference between the characters voices. I had a hard time identifying who was talking and when.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The end of course! :)

Any additional comments?

Thank you for providing this book for me to listen to. I am very grateful.

I love this!

Listening to Flo Gibson read Pride and Prejudice is always a joy. She does justice to the individual characters and their personalities without being too overbearing, as we know some of the characters can be. I totally recommend listening to this one at least once, It was, and remains, my favorite narration of it to date.
