Wonderful book, fabulous narrator!

I loved this classic by Jane Austen, and it is made even more enjoyable by Juliet Stevenson's perfect narration!

Juliet Stevenson!

Truth is, I'd listen to anything she reads - phone book, restaurant menus, old census reports. Ms. Stevenson simply brings an enchantment to every syllable.

the performance is perfect

the narration brings the humor and irreverence to life. very well loved. I relisten frequently.

i liked it...

the story defiantly started slow but got way better towards the end.. Juliet Stevenson did an amazing job and was the main reason i ended up finishing the book. this was not my favorite of Jane Austen's work.

Absolutely superb.

Juliet Stevenson is perfect for this work. I hated to stop listening.
Who can find fault with Gentle Jane?

A good adaptation

This was a decent adaptation of a very good book. I like Juliet Stevenson's performances in general, but I thought her Mary Crawford was more snide than I ever pictured her to be. However it was entertaining from beginning to end.

A great book of a girl comming of age.

A well spoken narrator reads this book with the upmost perfection. "A timless classic"

Another wonderful story from Ms. Austen.

Jane Austen is one of my favorite authors and I've read and listened to her books a number of times. This is the second time I've listened to Mansfield Park and decided to write a review. There isn't anything that can be said that hasn't already been said about Ms. Austen's books. The characters are wonderful, the dialogue is fun and witty and the story is always captivating and enduring. If you are the type who watches the movie before reading the book, be prepared, the movie does not follow the book. As always, the book is always better.

I also enjoyed Juliet Stevenson's narration for this story. Her wonderful voice and proper language made the story come to live and I chuckled along with some of the dialogue as most do in one of Ms. Austen's works.

Great story, wonderful narration. Nothing more needs to be said.

So very well done

Another exquisite tale by Jane Austin, and represented beautifully in voice and presentation. I wished it would never end.

A rich tapestry of words.

Beautifully written and narrated. Listening to this repeatedly with absolute pleasure. Totally recommended to everyone.
