What can I say...it's Jane Austin

What a wonderful story. The author teaches morality of judgement through an engaging romance. The wit and vivacity of her characters adds to the stories charm.

Love it but technical issues

The gaps between chapters are crazy long and drive me nuts. But everything else is wonderful.

weak narrator, poor voice inflection, colorless

poor voice inflection. colorless charactor defination. supported only by an extraordinary story. narrator to be avoided.

Terrible narrator

This classic wonderful book was read with the enthusiasm of a text book. She stumbled over the English accent, the attempts at character voices is terrible don't waste time or money on this version.

If I could, I would give it 20 stars.

Such an amazing book! Always have loved the movie since I was 6. But my love for the story has only increased with this book!

Classic story, robot narrator

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I would not recommend this book only because the narrator will make you fall asleep shortly.

What did you like best about this story?

The story itself is timeless and worth a read every now and then.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

She sounds kind of like a robot. The dialogue is a little lively, but when she gets into the narration itself her voice is just dry.

Do you think Pride and Prejudice needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No.

My favorite among the narrator offerings. What a wonderful book

Honestly... a bit overrated.

This was the longest, most tediously worded will-they-won’t-they story I’ve ever endured. I cannot deny Austin’s deft command of the English language, and I certainly enjoyed the conclusion of this story when I finally got there, but the journey was onerous to a fault. To put it far more plainly than Austin ever puts anything, nothing substantive or genuinely dramatic ever happens in this story. It’s more first-world problems than I ever cared to hear about. All with that ‘darling this and that’, and ‘that beastly so n’ so’, and ‘that lovely so n’ so’, and ‘surely not’, and so forth, non stop, for what felt like eons.

I don’t mean to be so dismissive of a classic, but this is precisely the kind of classic that might make a person think that classics are boring. I can’t honestly recommend it... or, on second thought, I do recommend it, but I recommend finding an abridged version. Half of this book could easily disappear and the story would actually benefit the story.

Jane Austen is an amazing author.

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

Everyone who blew off the classics should reconsider by
reading this book.

What did you like best about this story?

vocabulary.
