Reviewer: MA - May 1, 2018 Subject: Mostly good reading Most of the readers are good and the story was quite enjoyable. |
|
Reviewer: DW-NC - July 17, 2016 Subject: Different versions available At time of this review, Librivox offers three different versions of the audiobook. Curiously, it seems they share all the same reviews. So, if you don't like one version, then try another! Quite different from one another .... |

Reviewer: Allison - September 28, 2015 Subject: Great book, decent reading The majority of the readers are great. I'm not sure why there are so many complaints. There were only a couple readers that were very terrible, but as they only read a few chapters the book was still enjoyable. |

Reviewer: Beverly Owings - September 23, 2014 Subject: Northanger Abbey I should have checked before I began reading this because I do not like the change of readers in any book. Some of these readers were distracting and the flow of the story was therefor uneven. |
|
Reviewer: Katherine - July 1, 2014 The readers switching for each chapter was distracting. Chapter 5 was brutal and I had to stop. |
|
Reviewer: Mindy - September 25, 2013 I did not like that there was a new reader with every chapter. Hard to enjoy the story when you're constantly adjusting to a new reading style. |
|
Reviewer: User - June 3, 2013 Most of the readers were very good, but I wasn't happy with the chapter 10 reader. She read with absolutely no inflection and you couldn't tell who was talking in the dialogue sections. Other than that, I loved listening to this. Witty, enjoyable, and I loved all the characters. One of Jane's best. |

Reviewer: User - May 31, 2013 Very enjoyable read. Surprisingly funny and very well written. Definitely one of Austen's best. |

Reviewer: Zoe - December 2, 2012 Subject: many readers A lovely treat to listen to this early Austen novel. Her work certainly lends itself to being read - unsurprising given Austen's family culture of giving readings and putting on plays. The rhythm and nuances are less likely to escape the ear than the impatient eye, at least in my case. Some of the characterisation, particularly of the hero, seems a little idealised and not fully rounded, as you might expect in an early work - but it is witty, fluent and uplifting. There are many readers, with different voices for the characters, which is a little unsettling, but don't forgo the pleasure of the book on that account. |
