A Proper and Delightful Listen

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. Ms. Emmes' narration was true to the period. Her voice carried the proper, articulate and delightfulness of each character. It was a pleasure to listen to Little Women. I enjoyed it almost as much as watching it on video. This story is still a classic favorite for me. Thank you Ms. Emmes.

Wonderful book, so-so narrator

This is one of my all-time favorite books, so of course this was a delight to listen to. However, the narrator was certainly not my favorite. She wasn't horrible, but I thought she made all the girls (including Mrs. March) sound much too juvenile, even when they had grown up (they all sounded kind of nasal and annoying). She also had some weird phrasing that was a little distracting at times, and some glaringly bad pronunciation of certain words. Still, it was a joy to listen to. Beautiful, timeless story.

Love This Story!!

If you could sum up Little Women in three words, what would they be?

Sisters, Love, Hardship

Who was your favorite character and why?

I love Jo. I love her independence and spirit

What about Andrea Emmes’s performance did you like?

I though she did reasonably well with the voices and inflections. there were just a few short parts that could have been a little bit more dramatic (we are talking 4 teenage girls), but over all it was good.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

There are already many movies made from this book, but the tag line would have to be the same as the title Little Women

Always a moving book, not very well narrated

It had been years since reading this book the first time and I dove in without researching various narrators first. I wish I had invested the many hours of listening such a beautiful narrative with a less whiny narrator.

Nostalgic

This story sends me back in time. I am in love with the detail of the characters. I feel a personal connection to each one. I have read it before but this is my first time listening. The narrator did an impeccable job bringing this story to life and painted a vivid image with her voice.

Great reader

The narrator is great at reading I love the different voices of the characters it makes it more interesting overall I love using a Audible but I don't really like the story but that's just my opinion I recommended for people who want to learn more about your time

A classic

Any additional comments?

I had never read this book before, but always knew it as a classic. It is a good story that spans many years. It would not be easy for me to sit and read, but listening while driving allowed me to enjoy the story. The narrator did a good job as well.

A classic

Any additional comments?

This is a true classic that has lasted through time. It isn’t a book I have read before but I totally enjoyed the read. This is not my normal read but I found it interesting. Everyone should read this once in their lifetime.

Ms. Emmes did an outstanding job of narration with wonderful character voices that fit the time period. I heard no background noise or any place where the audio volume changed from chapter to chapter. Her voice was clear, crisp and clean. It was easy to know who was talking and what each felt through the emotion given in the narrator’s voice. She really brought the characters to life making you see the pictures of each scene in your mind. I have not listened to anything by this narrator and was thrilled with the audio. I look forward to listening to more from her.
