Love this book

Think that the book is absolutely amazing and that it is also read well. it is a book that I listen to often.

Austen at her best!

Jane Austen’s brilliant insight into the heart and character of each person in the cast and her beautiful writing made this story so engaging and irresistible. That narrator’s voice and her voicing the novel is wonderful— except there are quite a few reading errors which I’m guessing should have been caught in editing the performance. Despite that, I loved this book!

Mansfield Park

Expected a better story, but, it was only okay. Did enjoy the intellect used in the story. Very intelligent lady. Narration was irritating.

Better than the movie!

Better than the movie! Read it! The subtlety and humor was a total joy. And surprisingly, at least to me, it is a page turner!

A Great Reader Opens Missed Depths of Great Novel

In Mansfield Park, Fanny Price, the heroine, enters the novel a child; by the end of the tale she is still only a very young woman. Yet, of the many times over a lifetime that I have read Mansfield Park, I never came to realize how much the youth of the heroine influences her perceptions of the situations. Mary Jane Wells captures this spirit of youth-- the naivete, the emotionality, and the sense of peering into an unfathomable adult world. A Mary Jane Wells narration reminds me of listening to a very good girlfriend retelling a great day of adventures and humor.
