Well read. Clearly understandable. I would have preferred the reader to use different voices for the characters, making it easier to distinguish among them. The narrator's part could be rather plain, while the voices of the characters could be a bit more animated, and differing from one-another. Some readers do this, and it makes for a richer experience, provided they don't over-do it.

Love this. There is a blip right when mr Collins goes to propose to Charlotte Lucas but you don’t miss much and it doesn’t alter the scene enough to matter.

Ms. Savage's Reading of Ms. Austin's Time - Wonderfully evocative or ?

I am very pleased with Ms. Savage's reading of the book, as she (to me) seems lovely and charming and thus "of that time and place" so vividly set down by Ms. Austin." But I am just another American (male), and so I do wonder what might a person with more breeding, or closer location of birth might say about reading the great Austin's works.? Several reviewers felt the reading rushed. Some liked it just so. I was lucky to find such a website, dealing with the issues of time and place, and what did they sound like back then? https://austenauthors.net/the-sound-of-austen/ Of course, we have many films to hear the words in their way, also. Again, I'm charmed by Ms. Savage. And Ms. Austin. Thank you, Librivox and Internet Archive.

Amazing Book, Amazing Reader

Pride and Prejudice is of course a classic, a pioneer is showing that gentlewomen's drawing room affairs could be the plot of the novel.. the very vehicle hitherto only used to define the future of nations, or to navigate the dangerous ups and downs of gothic-romantic sentimentalism. The purpose of my review is to fully appreciate the reading of Ms. Savage. It truly brought the story to life.

Amazing!

This was the first book I listened to after downloading Librivox, and I spent the entire day transfixed! I will definitely be following with more Austen (and anything else) read by Karen Savage as she is an absolute delight to listen to. Lovely voice, masterful delivery, and she gives just the right amount of consistent personality to each character to make a wonderful story truly shine.

Deserved classic of English Literature.

Karen Savage aces Jane Austin's classic of English literature. I enjoy these period books for the insights on society of that time. Shadows of that superiority heirachy are still cast into the 21st century. Austin's command of English language is enormous. Great read. Her observation, presence and poise is perfect. Thank you.
