Northanger Abbey
Jane Austen
Read by LibriVox Volunteers
Northanger Abbey is a hilarious parody of 18th century gothic novels. The heroine, 17-year old Catherine, has been reading far too many “horrid” gothic novels and would love to encounter some gothic-style terror — but the superficial world of Bath proves hazardous enough.

Reviews
Pick one reader!

The writings of Jane Austin are always interesting and in many instances quite fun. However, having 20+ readers for 31 chapters makes for difficult listening. With a single reader you get comfortable with his or her rhythm and the sorry flows well. Multiple readers makes following dialog difficult and tedious.
I hope you enjoy the absurd
keep Austen weird
Narration randomly changes between multiple readers, including a woman with a Brooklyn accent and an ESL speaker. This is definitely the weirdest way I've ever experienced Austen. And I once broke up a fistfight at a Austen-style historic English Ball. This is weirder.
good book. it is light but engaging.

too many readers

I don't mind kost of the readers. BUT Ms. Kristen LeMoine gave me a headache with those overlong pauses between sentences. Terrible to listen to, no rhythm...
Great audio book!

I really love the book. A couple of the narrators could have been better. Otherwise I'd give it 5 Stars.
Josh S
A quality book. There are multiple readers and they vary in quality. But overall it was well worth listening to.
Readers are not the best
