Good story

I like that Elizabeth and Darcy got together early in the story. I dislike Mr. Bennett being so stubborn. I despised George Wickham and his smirking. I wanted to slap Georgiana for her stupidity.

Angst

This story is very much high angst thanks to George Wickham. I didn't know what was coming so from the start I was shocked but I do like variations where D&E get together early on and work together to resolve the conflict. They were very loving toward each other.

Tedious

No humor, charm, originality. It is very wordy as if the author had guaranteed to produce a certain number of words and did so through excessive repetition and unnecessary language.

Incredible narration!!

This is probably my favorite P&P variation of the hundreds I have listened to. It’s greatly enhanced by the outstanding narration skill of Emily Wylie! I’m putting this author and this narrator at the top of my list.

Weak Darcy

Darcy has all the resources on the planet and is so incredibly weak doing this entire book. It’s frustrating and so incredibly sad. Did Not finish.
