Pride and Prejudice

By Jane Austen

Pride and Prejudice is Jane Austen's classic comic romance, in which the five Bennet sisters try to find that most elusive creature: a single man in possession of a large fortune. Sparks fly when sweet, pretty Jane meets their new neighbor, Mr. Bingley, but her sister Elizabeth is offended by his haughty friend, Mr. Darcy. This is Jane Austen at the height of her powers, complete with ironic narration, hilariously drawn supporting characters, and romantic suspense. In this production, The Online Stage presents a fully dramatized version of Austen's most enduringly popular novel.

Narration by Libby Stephenson.

The best choice for Pride and Prejudice!

I loved the narration and the variety of voice actors! It was so easy to listen to and even though I know what was coming up I was on the edge of my seat!

Pride & Prejudice

Classic story. this is the best performance ive heard on audible yet! It brought the story to life!

sound

I enjoyed the production. I prefer classics, even ones I enjoy reading, with a cast instead of just one performer.
my issue was the unevenness of the sound. It never got too loud or too soft, but you could tell different takes in the lines with changing tone or maybe location. It was a little jarring everytime it happened.

Extremely Enjoyable

A classic and engaging story. The cast are all very good with showing emotion without being overblown, and pronounce words correctly (nothing quite as confusing as when one word is pronounced as another!).

There are some changes in audio quality throughout the recording, and occasionally phrases are re-recorded and spliced in. It is not very subtle when this happens. Some speakers have different recording equipment, it seems, and sometimes there is more background noise than others. I thought this would bother me at first but I quickly adapted to it. I have auditory processing disorder, so when audio quality is bad it becomes very difficult for me to understand anything. Not once through this recording did I have to rewind to try to understand a phrase or sentence -- though the audio quality varies, it is always good enough for my silly ears to understand!

I much prefer having different actors for different characters; it can be difficult to keep who's speaking straight when one person is providing fifty voices. The actors and actresses in this are all distinct enough to tell apart very easily.

Overall a wonderful recording and one I would recommend!

You can hear all the love and care they placed to this audio book.

Honesty I have listened to this book thousands of times. The audio is not perfect but that to brings in some charm. It makes it feel like you could be close by to them or silently following them.
