Pride And Prejudice

Oh where do I begin, Ms Messenger was absolutely brilliant with her narration and capturing each character. I'm a die hard Jane Austin fan; I've read Pride and Prejudice at least every year, watched every movie production and this is my first audiobook. I think Emma does a brilliant job capturing the essence of all the characters, she has a great dramatic flare that make you fall in love with this story all over again.

The book has drama, romance and comedy, I think people forget that the book has a comedic element and the narrator captures this and I was truly entertained listening to this version of Pride and Prejudice.

Happy listening

Love How Emma Acted Out Each Parts!

No Need To Rename It.

I hardly have time to read an actual book. Being able to work and clean house while listening to a book has been wonderful I enjoyed the old time setting of the book an how Emma Messenger Brings the book to life it's quiet wonderful.

Emma Messanger gives an extremely, entertaining narration of this incredible book. Very lovely voice and dramatic inflection.

Not to be reductive of a very important book, but this provides the storylines for every single romantic comedy and high school drama ever made. The characters are very compelling.

There are far too many great scenes to say there was one best, but one of the most memorable was Mr. Collins' proposal to Elizabeth Bennet. Her refusal and his mental contortions to make himself believe that she really wasn't saying no was hilarious.

No tears yet, but plenty of laughter. Mrs. Bennet and Mr. Collins are both perfect comic relief.

Audiobooks aren't a replacement for reading obviously, but at their best they can bring those books to life in interesting ways. Emma Messenger manages to do that with Pride and Prejudice beautifully. The depth and timbre of her voice make the listen a true pleasure.

Even more than her voice, however, is her voice acting which makes the fascinating characters of the novel truly come to life. Her shrill, loud Mrs. Bennet helps bring out all the comic awfulness of her personality. Even better, in my mind, was the self-important harrumphing of Mr. Collins. The deep, dramatic breaths she would give him before every mention of Lady Catherine de Bourgh truly brought to life the ridiculousness of his character.

Emma Messenger is quickly becoming one of my favorite readers and I hope she continues to read titles for Audible.com.

Yes, I will probably. The reader reads very well and her voice is pleasant to listen to.

Mrs. Bennet and Mr. Collins

This has and always will be one of the classic love stories..And Emma Messenger's narration made it even better!

Yes, love this book narrator is very good, and the price is awesome.

Reading Darcy's letter.

Darcy and Lizzy's encounter after he first proposed at his house.

True love is deeper than his pride and her prejudice.

Every women should read this book, and every man should learn from it.

Yes. I really enjoyed this audiobook. The narration was excellent and although I'm familiar with the story, it was a very different experience to reading the book or watching a movie/TV series. The narration made the characters very human, and the subtle humour was much funnier in this format.

Well, it's really from Elizabeth's point of view and she is the most sympathetically portrayed character, so Elizabeth. But it's hard not to love her father.

No - but her narration was excellent and I would be more likely to buy another title she reads.

Huh? This is like one of those job interview questions I hate...

Almost everyone has read Pride and Prejudice, so why should you buy this audiobook? Buy it for Emma Messenger. She's done a superb, superb job. Great vocal modulation, a warm, easy style, and the characters really come alive. Recommended.

The narrator starts out enthusiastically, delivering an excited Mrs. Bennet at the prospect of an aristocrat moving to her town and maybe some day marrying one of her daughters. But then all of the characters' lines are delivered with almost the same enthusiasm throughout the book. You'd think that Jane Austen ended every other sentence with an exclamation mark. I'm not a huge fan.
