Linda C.

Unusual plot of an interesting story hindered by poor Narration of one IMHO.

Narration of one of the narrators was not nearly as good as expected and previously enjoyed. Throughout, her narration I had difficulty understanding what ahe said...it was barely understandable at times

A Disappointment

Revisado: 12-28-22

Everything else I have ever read or Audible I have listened to by L. L. Diamond has been thoroughly enjoyed. This was not. Unfortunately the narrator is one of the worst I have ever listened to.Her voice characterizations, particularly Mrs. Bennett were painful to hear! I prodded through to the end for the sake of the story hoping it would get better, but it did not. I did not object to the time travel theme, but the last few chapters really had me scratch my head....what was Ms. Diamond thinking of when she wrote this? I will never listen to the audible again and I have my doubts about reading the story too.

Sorry Ms Winslow

I. could not finish this book. I'm not even sure I made it past the 2nd or 3rd chapter. The story seemed fine but this has to be among a few audio books with the Worst Possible Narration. It truly ruined the book for me.

Narrator Ruined It

Revisado: 07-22-20

I had previously read thus book and decided to buy the audible version as well. What a waste of money. No author should ever let Pearl Hewitt narrate their works. She does a terrible job on voices and her normal,speaking voice is not much better. Please listen to the sample of the narrated book before buying. Personally I will never buy a Pearl Hewitt book again, I have several, each time hoping she would improve. If anything she is worse, in this one than the others I have, Read the printed version and be satisfied with that.

Disappointing Narration

Revisado: 05-14-20

Wholly new and unusual story premise . A lot of P&P variations have quite similar story premises. This one is different. Good Story! Narration was disappointing and difficult to listen to , The voice for all male characters sounded very much the same and was grating on the ears. This is the second book I've listened to, I think, by Ms. Bilson and I don't recall the previous narration having the same effect on me. I probably will listen to it again later, but won't like it any better than I do now. The story alone is why I've given it an overall 4 star rating.

unfortunate narration for a good story

Revisado: 02-05-20

Totally different from canon, Unique storyline premise with an HEA. I almost gave up early in book because of the very disappointing narration. Do authors have any input to narrator's? If so, Verona was a bad choice in my opinion.

music!

Revisado: 12-08-19

The narration was acceptable, not great but O.K. it is difficult for a man to speak in a feminine sounding voice. However, what was annoying for me was they created a break between all 30+ chapters and played music that I didn't particularly like.

Good Story, but....

Revisado: 11-12-18

I read the book first and liked this variation when I found I could purchase the Audible version at a discount. Rarely have I been as disappointed in a purchase than I've been with this one. The narration all but ruins the story. She cannot do multiple voices well at all. Her vocal portrayal of Lord and Lady Matlock were pathetic, Lady Catherine, Mr. Bennett were poorly done as well. It will be a long time, if ever, before I listen to this again and I will never purchase another book narrated by her.

My Favorite Austen

Persuasion has long been my favorite. Mary Sarah is also a favorite. Perfection together.

Disappointed

Revisado: 06-06-17

I was terribly surprised by this vagary. The book was very long and drawn out. I finished the story, but it was almost painful it was so long and detailed. I kept wanting the author to speed things up, but she never did. Her particular writing style does not work for me.
