Well done but narrators are falsely advertised.

It was extremely well done and enjoyable, but the celebrities billed for it are only on one book, not all 6.

like listening to a movie!

I love this style of performance. it reminds me of old time radio shows. I need to find more books like this!

Jane Austen Radio Drama? Yes, please!

I really enjoyed these radio adaptations of Jane Austen's works! The cast is wonderful, and the dialogue is true to the stories. AUDIBLE 20 REVIEW SWEEPSTAKES ENTRY.

entertaining run-through of Jane Austen's novels

Fast-paced, play-like performance of all Austen's novels. There were some production issues however that make some characters hard to hear at times, like they're very far away from the mic while another character's voice is loud. every play has a character or two whose voice doesn't match the character or is just grating. overall entertaining though, good for the commute, and a nice refresher on the plot of every novel. shortened the stories without feeling like injustice was done to the books. however, if you want the Unabridged novels, look elsewhere.

bring back radio stories.

love the performances! great way to introduce Jane Austen to non readers. great for commuters.
