disappointing narration

This version of the collected Jane Austen books must have come from the american arm of Audible and would be fine for that market but I found it difficult to listen to Austen's wonderful and subtle prose through a rather lack lustre rendition and many mispronunciations. Persuasion was particularly poor. I recommend another version for narration but don't be put off Austen's work since the writing is sparkling, often hilarious and transcends time and different society's customs brilliantly.

Clear but dull narration

I love Jane Austen but I was disappointed by the flat reading and the occasional mispronunciation: 'tumult' was pronounced as 'tummult' and 'come-at-able' as 'come a table' - surely the reader should have realised that was gibberish? The flatness was particularly noticeable when Austen's characters were discussing the importance of reading aloud expressively, when it became almost comic. I still managed to enjoy the recordings but would have enjoyed them much more if they had been livelier.

Readers voices vary alot

I listened to the sample and decided to buy this book. because the first reader had a pleasant voice. However one of the readers had a most irritating voice and I wanted to return the book and was not allowed to so I'm stuck with it. It's not a good idea to lump so many books all together because the chances of liking all of them are slim. Also the old fashioned long drawn out, rather twee use of the language becomes tedious to listen to and the names of the characters difficult to differentiate between as the types of story are so similar that it all gets very confusing. I wouldn't recommend it.
