The Epic Adventures of Lydia Bennet

The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, Book 2

De: Kate Rorick, Rachel Kiley

Narrado por: Mary Kate Wiles

Based on the Emmy Award-winning web series The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, this is a new novel starring Lizzie's spunky sister, Lydia, as she navigates the joys and pitfalls of becoming an adult in the digital age.

Before her older sister, Lizzie, started her wildly popular vlog, Lydia was just a normal 20-year-old plotting the many ways she could get away with skipping her community college classes and finding the perfect fake ID. She may not have had much direction, but she loved her family and had plenty of fun. Then Lizzie's vlog turned the Bennet sisters into Internet sensations, and Lydia basked in the attention as people watched, debated, tweeted, tumblr'd, and blogged about her life. But not all attention is good.

After her ex-boyfriend, George Wickham, took advantage of Lydia's newfound web fame, betrayed her trust, and destroyed her online reputation, she's no longer a naive, carefree girl. Now Lydia must work to win back her family's trust and respect and find her place in a far more judgmental world.

Told in Lydia's distinctive, eccentric, and endearing voice, The Epic Adventures of Lydia Bennet picks up right where The Secret Diary of Lizzie Bennet left off. Featuring fresh twists, wonderful new characters, and scores of hilarious texts and tweets, The Epic Adventures of Lydia Bennet takes you behind the webcam and into the lives of your favorite sisters in a way that's sure to satisfy existing fans and delight new ones.

Epic storytelling by Mary Kate Wiles!

I loved listening to this. Her impressions of some characters would be hilarious and as she'd narrate it was also soothing, but she also voiced Lydia perfectly too.

Great narrator

Mary Kate did a great job bringing her story to life! I really liked the psychology history as well since that was her major.

The story Lydia Bennet deserves

What made the experience of listening to The Epic Adventures of Lydia Bennet the most enjoyable?

Mary Kate Wiles - her narration of the story was just perfect. Having her read Lydia's thoughts made it possible to easily picture the characters and everything that happens because I was familiar with The Lizzie Bennet Diaries.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Aside from Lydia, I loved getting to know Mary better. The poor forgotten Mary had so little development in the videos. I also really loved Milo.

Which character – as performed by Mary Kate Wiles – was your favorite?

Lydia of course. She is Lydia Bennet. However, she did excellent impersonations of all of the characters we had met. She did a great Lizzie :)

A little angsty but a satisfying conclusion

Lydia's story was like a trainwreck in slow motion, but it made her triumph that much more sweeter.

Mary Kate playing a subdued Lydia was jarring, but fit well with her story from the LBD series. The Bennet parents are given much more exposition here, and you actually come to like their mother.

MK also does very uncanny impressions of Mrs. Bennet... and Jane. Dear lord, does she do that impression justice.

Speaking of which, we need a third book with Jane as the protagonist! Although Laura Spencer is pretty busy these days...

love

wonderful conclusion to Lydia's story
I am kind of sad that it's over bit who knows maybe we'll see more of her in the future(fingers crossed)
