Superb book. Must listen

I love it!

There are 1-2 mispronounced words, but nothing major. I love the way Karen does subtle voices for the characters - it helps you figure out who is speaking without being too much. This audiobook is my go-to, when I need to relax, or I'm having a hard time sleeping - her voice is very pleasant. I highly recommend it!

Excellent

My favourite Jane Austen book bought to life by the excellent reading of Karen Savage and much to some people's surprise Karen is an American not British. Her diction is superb. when she pronounces certain words : i.e enquiry, her American accent comes through. Truly a joy to listen to

Pride and Prejudice read by Karen Savage

Karen Savage's reading of Pride and Prejudice is outstanding. With her clear, beautiful voice and flawless, unhurried reading style, Ms. Savage would excel at reading any fiction. But I think she is absolutely perfect as a reader of Jane Austen. Ms. Savage clearly loves and deeply appreciates Pride and Prejudice. Jane Austen's brilliant human understanding and humor shine through in Ms. Savage's masterful reading, and Ms. Savage's interpretation of the characters of P&P seems just right -- her interpretation of the pompous Mr. Collins, for just one example, is an absolute delight. Ms. Savage's reading of Pride and Prejudice deserves the highest possible commendation.

Better Than the Real Thing!

I've read this book numerous times, but having Karen Savage read it to me still brought novelty and much pleasure. The character development she employs through voice, inflection and tone provides the listener with a clear picture of each personality. The humour of Austen and absurdity of her characters cannot help but be appreciated. To say more would turn me into a Mr. Collins.....listen, you won't be disappointed.

Of course, there are no new words of praise for this classic Austen novel, which seems only to give more pleasure ever time I reread it. However, Karen Savage’s reading deserves every word of recognition! However many audiobooks of Pride and Prejudice there are or ever shall be, I will always turn to this recording for Miss Savage’s lovely voice and perfect tone distinctions to denote different characters, etc. She’s extraordinary. Listen!

classic for a reason

i am catching up on classics that i have not read before (i am in my 50s). this story is easy to follow and a classic for a reason. the narrator did an excellent job, making listening easy and pleasant. i felt like i was watching a movie in my head. i will surely look for other books by this author and by this narrator.

Completely Engrossing Reading

Once again, Karen Savage opens the gates of a great classic and ushers us into its every room until we cannot bear to leave. Pride and Prejudice has 61 chapters, but the time flew as fast as if it were a novelette. This was the second, but I am sure, not the last time I will listen. I hope many will have the same pleasure.
