Pride and Prejudice

By: Jane Austen

Narrated by: Beth Kesler

Love is in the air when five sisters discover that a wealthy and eligible bachelor is suddenly within reach. But it is his friend, the haughty Mr. Darcy, who becomes smitten. Unfortunately for him, the object of his affection is not so easily swayed.

One of the most popular characters in English literature, Elizabeth Bennet is intelligent, witty, well-spoken and ahead of her time. If the terrible rumors about Mr. Darcy are true, he doesn't stand a chance. Yet not all gossip is to be believed when marriage, money, and reputations are on the line. Will Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy circumvent her haste, his ego, and society's expectations to find love?

Written more than two centuries ago, Jane Austen's enduring story of manners, family, and love continues to delight new generations of readers.

Difficult it was to follow.

Tthe reader was not one of my favorites. Tried to hard to act out the story rather than just reading it.

Pride and prejudice

Loved the lovely reading kept my interest. Very well done and I prefer reading by non celeb.

Master of human nature

Jane Austen is a very good author. I enjoy her writing immensely. She’s the best.

Horrible narration; I could not get through it

The voices the narrator chose were unbearable. I ended up having to read the title instead of listen to it, due to the distracting narration.

It's just fussy

I've never been a Jane Austen fan. Sacrilege. I know. Give me Charlotte Brontë or Daphne DuMarier or Louisa May Alcott, please! Austen is just too fussy and disjointed for my tastes and so full of all the girls I hated in school for their pretense and annoyance that I barely got through this "I'll give it another try" reading.
