How could one not enjoy this wonderful novel? The reading style is great and the story, well there's no need to praise that. Anyway I found the pace a little too fast, sometimes, for me to grasp some of the long, articulate, Austen's sentences, but that's not of any impediment to the enjoyment of the whole and it's certainly my problem only. A must listen to, for everyone.

I finaly finish this audiobook. I must say I did not like the plot and I finish it because it was effortless given Karen Savage reading. I do not yet understand the motivations of characters and found too superficial the English society of the time, but I guess that would be a review for Jane Austin, not Karen Savage. Karen Save brings a nice British accent, very different from other Audiobooks. Sometimes she looses it a bit, and American English comes in (Especially in vowels), but most of the time she manages to give an adequate old−fashioned speech which facilitates immersing into the time and plot. Sometimes, nonetheless she speaks too fast. I had trouble imagining 19−century−British people speaking that fast, considering the kind of vocabulary they use. Ms. Savage is very good with words, but I believe not everyone in the 19th century would be so proficient and in such a hurry. Although, I could be wrong. Nice work and may be the only way I would have "read" this book.
