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

My favourite version of Pride and Prejudice - excellent reading, clean and clear. Pleasant and easy to listen to - this must be my fifth run at least because I enjoy KS's reading so much.

Excellent

Superb reading by Karen Savage. I had previously read Sense and Sensibility and was in love with it, but I now believe this to be my new favourite from Jane Austen.

Karen Savage is the BEST

I love this book. I couldn't be happier with Karen's narration. The reviews are no exaggeration.

Very good.

Well written, engaging and charming characters, as well as a good dose of humor.

Savage adeptly captures the essence of this novel.

As a review of the book, it is a classic romance, a genre that I don’t much often read (or listen to). I did want to give it a second try during February, and wished to experience for myself why is it that this book has had so many adaptations throughout the years. I was not disappointed. As a review of the recording Karen Savage did a spectacular job of capturing the characters, tone and feel of the story. My appreciation and enjoyment of the story is much due to Austen’s skill as a writer as to Savage’s performance. Two things irked me a bit, first that the quality of the recording itself is amateurish with more background noise than I’m used to and her sudden change of chapter introduction format (midway through the book she began mentioning the recording being for LibriVox and the month and year of recording). Minor things for sure.

Die Sprecherin leistet fantastische Arbeit!

Ich habe mir die von karen savage vorgelesen Version dieses Buches bestimmt schon ein dutzend mal angehört und es wird nie langweilig. Sie hat einfach ein unglaubliches Talent, die Figuren förmlich zum Leben zu erwecken. Außerdem ist ihre Aussprache klar und deutlich, man versteht jedes Wort, das ist ja bei englischen Sprechern oft nicht der Fall, wenn man nicht Muttersprachler ist. Ich habe mir auch andere von ihr vorgetragene Werke angehört. Schade, dass sie nicht mehr Bücher aufgenommen hat.

Aged Very Well

It's a slow book to get into, albeit not compared to other old novels, but it does have a very good story when you get into it. What impressed me most of all throughout was the authors ability to so succinctly put complex emotions and situations so into words through her characters. It was worth the read just for that.
