A couple of minutes of this was all it took. At a price of only £0.73 it may seem like a bargain but it isn't.

As a fan of Jane Austen since my teens I was looking forward to listening to the complete novels. Alas! I'm afraid this narrator - apart from mispronunciation of some English names; provided, at best, a wooden performance. After 30 minutes I had to switch it off. I returned only for love of the material . I have P&P performed by Rosamund Pike - which I would highly recommend.

Couldn’t even get this to download on any of my different devices. Managed to listen to a few pages before the file reached a corrupted part and deleted itself. Pointless.

Wouldn’t download on any device.

I am a devoted audio listener but this has to be the worst thing I have ever invested in. I honestly do not make this sort of review lightly but I have never ever heard such poor reading. I might have believed this was a technically created reading as the pace and tone of the reader was really unreal.
You have to give great marks for Austen's novels - they are wonderful - but the presentation offered here could turn anyone off listening to audio story listening.
I should have realised at the really cheap cost that there was something wrong but I honestly do not see how anyone has the nerve to charge for this. I lasted 10 minutes. The mean thing is that the sample does not reflect what the real audio book truly sounds like - that piece must be the best recorded part of the whole 76 hours.
I could not believe how bad the reading was and skipped to other parts to see if the bit I had listened to was a blip - it was not.
So please if you love Austen (as I do) go look for another presentation.
