Mansfield Park Audiobook

" excellent but not my favourite. "

" I had to force myself to finish this novel. Fanny is representative of her time, place, and social status, and her relatives do a great job of reminding her how much she owes to their generosity and benevolence. But she is maddeningly meek for some of us modern readers. Can't say that I'll ever re-read this one from the Austen canon. "

" More delicious characters and situations from my favorite author. "

" Please let this be the last Austen I have to read. 400+ pages of characters that seem interchangeable with characters from her other novels, and all the action in the book occurs in the last 50 pages and is barely described at all. Some good topics for discussion posts but I am still mystified by her seemed importance as a novelist. "

" This book left me feeling cheated. Slow to gain momentum, I trudged slowly through the first half. Once all of the characters were fully realized, things got interesting. Then at the end, all of the loose ends were tied together, packaged up, and cinched up with a bow of a happy ending in the last 12 pages. Though I respect Jane Austen as an author, this novel was a disappointment. "

" This is one of my all time favorite books ever! "

" Pretty good, but not my favorite Jane Austen book. "

" Not my favourite Austen novel. Main character too meek for belief. "

" A nice twist on an Austen book - this one is more complex, not as easily figured out. I appreciate that. It seems like Austen was challenging herself to write outside of what she knew and was accustomed to, and that's always an admirable quality in a writer. "

" What was with the rushed ending? The main character's name being Fanny and her reserved character and constant reluctance to say to most things reminded me a lot of Evelina by Fanny Burney. I'm wondering if she did that on purpose. I'm sure she was familiar with the work. "

" Blah... Definitely not my favorite Austen. How was this even made into a movie? "

" I adore every novel Austen penned, but this one is definitely among my favorites. It doesn't matter how many times I read it, I fall in love with it anew every time! "

" One of my favorite of her novels "

" An enjoyable read, but not my favorite work by Jane Austen. "

" This is actually my favourite Jane Austen book, I love it and read it about once a year. "

" Meh...character development was excellent, of course, but the plot was too drawn out for my taste. "

" Can't stand Fanny - I understand the book has many themes, blah, blah, blah. Not an entertaining read - not a lot happened. P&P, S&S, Emma all so much better. "

" may be this book wasn't good as the other Austen novels but I enjoy reading it... "

" This is the ultimate collection for any Jane Austin fan. It is gorgeous and look amazing on the shelf!! "

" Love the novels, but this collection of Austen's works was so big and heavy that I found it awkward to read. I donated it to the library. "

" Amazing book set, beautiful and well bound. Love having them all together in one compilation and what a set! Jane Austen is one of my favorite authors of all time! "

" An excellent collection, though lacking Austen's unfinished and unpublished work, it nevertheless beautifully presents all of her novels in a nice form. For details on individual novels, please see their respective reviews. 5/5 "

" I've read Pride & Prejudice and am now reading Sense & Sensibility. Along with reading these books, I am also collecting 2 versions each of the films. I enjoy them that much. "

" I absolutely adore Jane Austen, I have read this entire book at least 20 times. "

" Highly impractical pocket for seven must-reads that deserve nice linen bindings.. At the time of publishing, e-books were not yet available. Nowadays, choose those to save on your holiday luggage.. "

" bought it at a Spiritualist fete for £1. For all of her books, not a bad price. Unfortunately, it's also about a bazillion pages which makes it difficult to hold, and the font is awfully tiny. "

" The best collection of books! Whatever mood you are in,t here is an Austen novel to compliment! "

" Jane Austen's works all in one edition. It can't get much better than this. "

" I love Jane Austen. This is one of the few I keep on my shelf to re-read when I'm in the mood "
