Pride and Prejudice

By Jane Austen

Pride and Prejudice is Jane Austen's classic comic romance, in which the five Bennet sisters try to find that most elusive creature: a single man in possession of a large fortune. Sparks fly when sweet, pretty Jane meets their new neighbor, Mr. Bingley, but her sister Elizabeth is offended by his haughty friend, Mr. Darcy. This is Jane Austen at the height of her powers, complete with ironic narration, hilariously drawn supporting characters, and romantic suspense. In this production, The Online Stage presents a fully dramatized version of Austen's most enduringly popular novel.

Narration by Libby Stephenson.

The best choice for Pride and Prejudice!

I loved the narration and the variety of voice actors! It was so easy to listen to and even though I know what was coming up I was on the edge of my seat!

Pride & Prejudice

Classic story. this is the best performance ive heard on audible yet! It brought the story to life!

You can hear all the love and care they placed to this audio book.

Honesty I have listened to this book thousands of times. The audio is not perfect but that to brings in some charm. It makes it feel like you could be close by to them or silently following them.

sound

I enjoyed the production. I prefer classics, even ones I enjoy reading, with a cast instead of just one performer.
my issue was the unevenness of the sound. It never got too loud or too soft, but you could tell different takes in the lines with changing tone or maybe location. It was a little jarring everytime it happened.

Extremely Enjoyable

A classic and engaging story. The cast are all very good with showing emotion without being overblown, and pronounce words correctly (nothing quite as confusing as when one word is pronounced as another!).

There are some changes in audio quality throughout the recording, and occasionally phrases are re-recorded and spliced in. It is not very subtle when this happens. Some speakers have different recording equipment, it seems, and sometimes there is more background noise than others. I thought this would bother me at first but I quickly adapted to it. I have auditory processing disorder, so when audio quality is bad it becomes very difficult for me to understand anything. Not once through this recording did I have to rewind to try to understand a phrase or sentence -- though the audio quality varies, it is always good enough for my silly ears to understand!

I much prefer having different actors for different characters; it can be difficult to keep who's speaking straight when one person is providing fifty voices. The actors and actresses in this are all distinct enough to tell apart very easily.

Overall a wonderful recording and one I would recommend!

Great performance

There was only, I believe it was, one area that was incorrect and one area my copy of the book I own incorrect. It was great to read and listen at the same time. I've never read a Jane Austen book until now and I think I shall read other ones.

Overall good, minor performance complaints

I love this story. The 4 stars is only because of the performance. I really like the cast, but there were times when I felt that the voice actor of Elizabeth or Lady Catherine (for example) were off.

Not worthwhile

Snarky Elizabeth, pallid Lady Catherine, Scottish accented Mr. Collins. Narrator without any ironic distance. In short, not a good production. only Mr. Darcy with listening to. Get the Emma Messnger reading instead

Great book, terrible acting and audio quality

I am pretty sure I got this for free, which is the only reason I am not more upset. I not impressed with the voice acting or audio quality - volume was crazy inconsistent and spliced and not subtle about it. Really annoying. Also was really hoping for some good solid accurate RP accents since I need to study those anyway and was disappointed by the narrator sounding pretty American. Don't pay for this. If you want a full cast reading of Pride and Prejudice of this quality or better, Librivox has three dramatic readings and two solo readings to choose from and it's free to listen and download.

Another excellent Connelly novel.

There is nobody, and I mean nobody who writes this genre better than Connelly. He doesn't muck up Bosch's life with unrealistic actions or relationships. I thought he was coming too close to it with Walling, but thankfully he let Bosch be who he really is...a flawed man, an honorable yet somewhat unhonorable cop, and a great detective.
