Emma (Abridged) Audiobook

" Possibly Austen's best work. I love how Emma represents the development of a human being; going from a proud know-it-all to a humbled, mature woman who realizes she knows less of the world than she thought. "

" I might have liked this better if Emma had been more admirable. "

" extremely snobby, annoying people who have no jobs and do nothing but look for husbands and drink tea. sounds good to me. "

" Emma is an interfering pest, but I couldn't bring myself to dislike her in the least. God bless John Knightly. "

" while the writing is intriguing enough to encourage one to finish the book, the ending leaves a little to be desired. it ties everything up too neatly and quickly and one wonders how relationships ever lasted if this is how couples come together and marry. "

" I read Jane Austen's entire collection during the summer of 2003 - except for Emma, for some reason. I couldn't get through the book, even though I loved the movie. I decided to try it again - and I have no idea what the problem was the first time around. Absolutely loved it, and i can see why people call it Austen's best. Complex story and characters that you can both love and hate. A sweet story that moves quickly. Really great book. "

" This one is close to a 5, I really liked it. And another thing is that the ending isn't as well known so you're not sure what's going to happen. It's not like Pride Prejudice where you know Elizabeth will end up with Mr. Darcy. Emma is an interesting girl who doesn't always make the smartest decisions but she tries to do things that will eventually help others. All in all it's a good and fun read "

" Interesting characters and unmatchable wit. Nuff said. "

" God, that was awful. Would have dropped it if it weren't for class. "

" God, that was awful. Would have dropped it if it weren't for class. "

" I honestly read this because of the title, the name intrigued me, and I have always heard rave reviews about how wonderful Jane Austen writes. Personally, I wasn't a fan of this book. However, the language used was enriching and the story is one of the best love circles in all of literature. Emma Woodhouse, a rich, single, and charismatic girl, is known for her ability to match people together (relationship wise). Emma realizes that maybe it is her time to find someone right for her. While she's on this adventure, she falls in love with an unexpected person, creating drama and a creative ending. I wasn't in love, nor did I hate, this book. The style Austen uses is very intriguing, but because of it's age, I got bored a lot throughout the reading process. On the contrary, the climax was too good to not enjoy. Overall, it is definitely a good introductory book to Austen's famed writing style. "

" Re-read it for the second time, but this time via audio book table. Couldn't remember half the detail, and I always enjoy Austin. "

" While the story itself was first rate, it was hard to get through. The style of writing was tedious and the paragraphs long. Not easy reading. "

" I love this book. I love Emma. Her character is so much fun. All her misguided actions are so enjoyable to read. The book is so funny with a perfect ending. "

" Austen's favorite heroine, one which took me a couple of reads to warm up to. Yet I can tell why Austen loved her so. Lovely gem of a book, a reverent study at the movement from self-delusion to self-awareness. Warm and true. "

" Emma was not my favorite of Ms. Austen's work, but it was still good, interesting, and funny enough that I enjoyed it. I had a hard time liking Emma Woodhouse at first. I much preferred to read about Elizabeth Bennett or Eleanor Dashwood. But Ms. Woodhouse showed more growth throughout her story than did the other Jane Austen heroines I know. As usual, expect a happily ever after, fairy tale-like ending. A satisfying ending to a satisfying book. "

" Now, I used to think Austen was just for girls. Consider: she wrote while the Napoleonic Wars were going on, but the most exciting thing that happens in any Austen novel is that the heroine drops a teaspoon. But that's just it -- the deliberately tiny canvas makes every nuance look enormous, and this is the very essence of these delicate but deceptively barbed comedies of manners. Austen is the best prose stylist in the English language, and Emma is one of her best and funniest works. Do I need to tell you the plot? Go and see the film Clueless, which is Emma done properly -- that is, with irreverence -- set in modern California, and much better than the staid period version with Gwyneth Paltrow. "

" 4.5 Stars Jane will always be in a league of her own! "

" Second favorite from Jane Austen. Absolute whimsy and again wish there were more of these men. "

" A classic book in the style of Jane Austen "

" A classic book in the style of Jane Austen "

" Classic. They don't make 'em like they used to! "

" Superficial... but interesting to read so... read it jejeje "

" Couldn't get through it. "Dull" is a nice way to describe any of Austen's novels. "

" Jane Austen has been a beloved author for years. I love the picturesque settings and the quaint old-fashioned customs, yet having said that it still remains timeless. Jane Austen is an observer of people and she has a keen eye in observing and bringing to life peoples good qualities and follies. Ms. Austen has a wicked sense of humour which is at its funniest in Emma, a heroine, the author admits, nobody will like but herself. Picnics and dances are certainly to be found in the pages of this book, but there is sometimes a hint of the dangerous beneath the beautiful facade, for example the gypsy scene in this book, which has the ability to unnerve its readers after pages or tranquility. It doesn't hurt that every leading man in her novels is dashing and swoon worthy. :D "

" The love story of Emma, who shall never marry, and all those she tries to arrange marriages for, since she is so sensible. Her plans go awry, and no one she arranges ends up as planned, especially herself! "

" LOVED IT!!!! Just waiting for my Mr. Knightley to come along..... "

" Another simple but good read. "

" totally unpredictable. xD it was so boring at first because I wasn't used to this sort of novels. i've only read YA novels and the vocabulary used on those is what we use in daily conversations. The vocab in this though, I took a long time getting used to. I had to pause reading and search for the meaning of some crazy words on my dictionary. Haha! Fun read though. Five stars. :) "

" I expected a lot more. This one was kind a boring. "

" This is my favorite Jane Austin, and I love Jane Austin! Emma is charming and endearing and funny. "

" I like jane austen's novels a lot,first of all because i love happy endings, the second reason because they take me back in time where women spend the day in reading, talking and playing music,and the last one is about the characters of her novels, they are full of life and emotions. "

" My favorite Jane Austen Novel laced with humor as Emma learns valuable lessons of love and life. "

" I actually really liked Emma. I thought the story was very sweet. Sure there was a good bit of classism, but if you ignore all that the story line was pretty good "

" My second favorite Jane Austen book. "

" I love this book! I know most people don't like this Austen novel as much, but I adore it! I think it's Austen's funniest novel and it's length allows you to be invested in not just the main characters, but in Emma's entire community. I love the evolution of Emma and Knightley's relationship. If you already know the ending, there are a lot of extra little moments of the story to notice throughout the book. Read it! "

" This book was very in depth. "

" This book was very in depth. "

" I give up. Maybe I'm just not in a Jane Austen mood but I finally gave up on liking Emma or caring at all for her self absorption. This is not as clever as Pride and Prejudice nor are any of the love stories or characters all that interesting. I wish I liked it more (I did love Clueless!) "

" As usual, a brilliant study of human nature and relationships. Hilarious. "

" I read this before the Gwyneth Paltrow film came out and reread it after seeing the film. Now I can only picture Gwyneth Paltrow's portrayal of Emma - it's a little off-putting, however, it's still definitely worth reading. "

" last read this for a level English - enjoyed it and appreciated the subtleties "

" The female characters Austen creates is wonderful. Simply wonderful. "

" A bit slow and trivial. "

" I think I may have enjoyed this more than Pride and Prejudice. I especially liked the character development on Emma's part. "

" Probably my favorite Jane Austen novel, or maybe a tie with Pride & Prejudice. "

" Probably my favorite Jane Austen novel, or maybe a tie with Pride & Prejudice. "

" What an awful lot of irritating characters! Jane Austen really astounds me in that she can make such an illogical main character endearing. Emma is a meddlesome young lady living at Hartfield with her health-obsessed father when she meets Harriet Smith, a beautiful but shy orphan. She sets out trying to get Mr. Elton and Miss Smith to marry, but not everything goes as expected. Emma is a wonderfully well-developed character. She learns a lot about herself and others and by the end of the book, she's SO different from how she started. At first she was nosy, presumptuous, and unaware of herself and others;but as the story unfolds, she matures and grows. Honestly, my favorite character was Mr. Knightley. So blunt! So honest and clever! I enjoyed every moment in which he appeared. The plot is very slow-paced, especially at the beginning. What makes up for it is Austen's sense of humor and wit. "

" My least favourite Austen novel. Very irritating heroine who spoilt the story for me. "

" never loved emma as much as the others but still not bad. "

" As an avid Austen fan from my teen years to my present state of newly retired, I would have to say (despite my love of Lizzy and Mr Darcy) that this is my favorite Austen classic! Emma grows up! She learns from her mistakes and in the end she reaps the benefits! We should all be so fortunate! "

" Jane Austin not my fav "

" While I enjoyed this book I didn't love it nearly as much as Pride and Prejudice. I also felt like in the middle the book dragged a bit and there were some superfluous events that could have been left out. Otherwise a great Jane Austen book. "

" A good read, but difficult to follow if you get caught up in the language. "

" Austen's favorite heroine, one which took me a couple of reads to warm up to. Yet I can tell why Austen loved her so. Lovely gem of a book, a reverent study at the movement from self-delusion to self-awareness. Warm and true. "

" My personal favorite of the Austin novels, a relatable character whose funny, attractive and sadly mistaken in matters of the human heart. Her ambitions to match others unfortunately makes her blind to her own desires. "

" I liked this almost as much as "Pride and Prejudice". The character Emma is gloriously flawed but you like her all the more in the end. You can't say that about many characters in literature. This is a must read for anyone who loves the classics. "

" A great Austen - I may even like Emma better than Elizabeth Bennett. "

" Although not my favorite Austen book, Emma is my favorite Austen character. She is meddlesome, spoiled, and witty. "

" I won't be running out to read another Jane Austen book any time soon. "

" 3 1/2 stars. If you wanna try reading Jane Austen then I would highly recommend Pride and Prejudice before Emma. Although it was much better than Persuasion but not close to being as good as P and P. it dragged a little for me. However I do love Austen's style, so entertaining and very fun. "

" Are you female? Do you like books? Do you like bonnets? Then you live this already. "

" Not too shabby, but I'm still ranking it behind P&P and S&S as my top Austen books. Read this because SkyGirl wanted to see the musical playing at the Herberger Theater. I also enjoyed that, in a strictly musical theater sort of way. "

" Loved it! A little hard to get back into Austen at first, but the story and characters just draw you in. I hadn't read this in about 20 years so I had forgotten some of the plot-lines. Great, Great book "

" Amazing! I love Jane Austen! "

" Amazing! I love Jane Austen! "

" I mean it's Jane Austen. "

" The time line for this book is a period when women's objective was to find a husband. I did enjoy it. Emma saw herself as a strong person that was willing to sacrifice her own happiness for her family. It was an easy to read book, no confusing plots. All in all, predictable. "

" I loved this book. If you watched the movie clueless the characters and idea was based on this book !!! I loved that !!! It was a great read! "

" I loved this book! It was a little hard for me to get into it and get used to the formal English language, but after I adjusted, I thought it was wonderful. I did not want it to end! "

" Have tried reading Jane Austin but find it like wading through mud. "

" I like this one much better than Persuasion... some of the characters were so shallow it was irritating, until you got used to them, which I'm sure is her purpose-- happens in almost every book. It was nice to have an imperfect heroine. "

" Emma is an interfering, sanctimonious snob, and Miss Bates is my mother. "

" Pretty good, even though Emma was super annoying in the beginning and I called the ending from page 10. A good diversion, even if Austen's writing style is "slow." But my professor taught me to appreciate it. "

" As much pain as it had given me during my Alevel literature exam days, it will always be one of my most favorite books, ever . "

" This was a dud. The most interesting pairing was Harriet and Robert Martin. But it is largely neglected. Instead, we get a lot of superfluous dialogue. "

" People will probably want to slap me for this, but the reason I'm not giving it five out of five is that some sentences take up nearly half a page with their length rendering some parts a little bit tedious to me. But otherwise it is a novel of wit and charm that is overall an enjoyable read. "

" I really really tried to like the book but I didn't. I wanted more from it. More descriptions, more explanations and less tedious recounting of tedious parlor chatter. "

" As I finished it a while ago, I can't think of a proper review right now, but holy crap do I love this book. Absolutely hilarious, start to finish. "

" I'm a very gothic, dickens/stoker/bronte girl and i love a great crime or trueful story about unfortunate people but Austen, when im down is always refreshing, this is just lovely and i've got a strange love for mr churchill.. "

" quick re-read for a book group. I continue to agree with Jane Austen who said she had created a "heroine whom no-one but myself will much like." Emma needed a swift kick. "

" Not my favorite Austen. There were a couple of time when I literally threw the book across the room because Emma is so unbelievably ... spoiled and clueless (pun intended). I also never understood how Mr. Knightley could love such a silly girl. "

" Emma lives in a safe little society in Highbury, where the boredom and confinement and the triviality of social life there would have driven me crazy! "

" Too tidy an ending, but otherwise highly entertaining and well-written with some dark drama (1840s style) thrown in. "

" Not my favorite. Found it slower, and Emma was more annoying than charming. I was surprised because I love the movie. Still have 2 more Jane Austens to read but it's going to be hard to compare with Pride and Prejudice. "

" Always my favorite Jane Austen novel, possibly because I read it first. "

" depends on ppl's taste....but i recommend to read it..... "

" "Emma" is such a fun book to read. I love that our heroine in this book is very flawed and human. It's a fun journey to watch the evolution of character in many of the characters. Of Jane Austen books, in my opinion, "Emma" is second only to "Pride and Prejudice"! "
