Summary
One of Jane Austen's most popular novels. Arrogant, self-willed, and egotistical, Emma is her most unusual heroine.

Lively and fresh
This is a really nice version of Jane Austen's Emma. Emma can be a little harder to like than some of Austen's other heroines. However, Juliet Stevenson's reading breaths life into this in a really positive way - not playing down any of the negative characteristics of Emma, but not making you think that Emma was too much of a dolt.

Superb
I had forgotten how much more subtle Emma is than the film dramatisations manage.
As ever, Juliet Stevenson does a cracking job.

A perfect novel read by a perfect narrator
Juliet Stevenson does absolute credit to the wit, warmth and subtlety of one of my favourite Austen works. Such a treat!

Wonderful!
Of all the titles I've listened to, this is by far my favourite. I come back to it again and again, sometimes the whole thing and others dipping in to hear my favourite moments and to indulge my love of Mr Knightley. The combination of Jane Austen's words and Juliet Stevenson's narration is utterly perfect.

We do love Emma, Miss Austen!
Jane Austen decided to write a heroine that no one but herself would like. Maybe then but now Emma lives on as the most delightfully spirited, frequently needing a good shake but still most loveable of all Austen's heroines.
The novel is all wit and sparkle. Juliet Stevenson narrates it beautifully (wait for her Mrs Elton!).
I loved this buy from Audible and recommend it to all customers!

Disappointing
I cannot agree with the other reviewers who liked Juliet Stevenson's interpretations of various characters' voices. After two chapters I couldn't continue listening. It is one of my favourite novels but future readings of it would have been ruined for me by my memory of this interpretation. Emma is given the high-pitched voice and swooping and soaring intonation of a simpering flirtatious schoolgirl, and I found it tiresome to listen to. Can't help thinking Mr Knightly would have found it tiresome too.

A brilliant story - brilliantly read
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I've listened to Juliet Stevenson's narration of this story once before, and loved it so much I chose to listen to it again - all 16+ hours! The story is Austen at her best - great characterisation and witty story line. But Juliet Stevenson really brings this story to life. Her interpretation of the characters and her choice of accents and 'voice' are brilliant. Give it a few months, and I'm sure I'll want to listen to it all over again!

Very enjoyable
This is my favourite Jane Austen novel, and anyone who is only familiar with Pride and Prejudice should definitely give this a try too. This version is well read by Juliet Stevenson, as her voice is easy to listen to and she uses different voices for different characters. I don't always like it when narrators do this, as sometimes the voices are silly, but I think Juliet Stevenson pulls it off. Recommended.

Wonderfully read.
Juliet Stevenson does great justice to the work. Each time I have listened to her readings I have been left imagining that anyone would struggle to better her.
Beautifully paced, expressed and characterised, a delight and ease to the ears.
