SENSE AND SENSIBILITY
by Jane Austen
CHAPTER 1

The family of Dashwood had long been settled in Sussex. Their estate was large, and their residence was at Norland Park, in the centre of their property, where, for many generations, they had lived in so respectable a manner as to engage the general good opinion of their surrounding acquaintance. The late owner of this estate was a single man, who lived to a very advanced age, and who for many years of his life, had a constant companion and housekeeper in his sister.

Reviewer: guineababy - 6/30/2008 21:21 Subject: Too Fast to Love I love this book, but it is hard to enjoy chapters 27−29 read by Kelly Bescherer. Her "This is a librivox recording" intro is well timed for this book, however, once she starts reading the actual chapters, she sounds as if she has joined a marathon. "Maryanne" sounds like "Marion" and she seems to gasp for breath after the end of paragraphs. The end of sentences run together. I love anything read by Kara Shallenberg, who has a wonderful voice, the perfect pace, and draws you into each book. But based on the fast reading of Kelly Bescherer, I say go for version 2 of Sense and Sensibility off Librivox read by Mark F. Smith. (http://librivox.org/sense−and−sensibility−by−jane−austen−version−02/)
Reviewer: CasualListener - 1/5/2009 14:54 Subject: Nice book and reading, though using some expedients Totally agree with the previous comment, though I think that a few bad read chapters(26.27.28), hurriedly read that is, could not much influence the good value and prize of the whole book, achieved through the great efforts of many other volunteers. As a remedy for those few chapters I listened to the always good mark's smith reading of this novel: http://www.archive.org/details/sense_and_sensibility_ms_librivox and all was fine. Good thing we have a choice. Enjoy!
