Mansfield Park (Naxos Edition) Audiobook (Unabridged)

" I got through 5 chapters and decided to give up on it. It has none of the forward motion or humor of Pride and Prejudice. "

" I am sure I would love this story, since I loved Pride and Prejudice. However, I just couldn't get into the book and finally had to give up on trying to read it. Maybe some day when I am in a different place in my head I will be able to concentrate and really get in to this book. "

" This, perhaps tied with Emma, is my least favorite Austen. Fanny is too perfect to be believable as a character--her only flaw is that she's a complete doormat. "

" My least favorite of Jane Austen. I found reading this a bit of a chore. "

" I like that it's darker and more considered than Northanger Abbey but the actual writing isn't as good and Fanny Price really annoys me. And when Edmund lectures Mary Crawford at the end, I can't help agreeing with her that he's a sanctimonious bore. It feels a shame that J A never relates to any of the servants or other people outside her immediate circle. "

" My least favorite Austen --- but still a pleasure to read. "

" My least favourite Jane Austen novel. Which is to say, it's still a great novel. I much prefer Pride &Prejudice, Persuasion and Northanger Abbey, though. "

" I'm on a bit of a Jane Austen kick right now. I enjoyed Mansfield Park, but Fanny Price is too wimpy and frail for my taste. "

" Sometimes I cannot decide if Mansfield Park is my favorite book other than Persuasion! They are both beautifully written and a bit darker than the more celebrated Austen books. "

" My favourite author. Of course I love it! "

" Fanny became one of my favorite Jane Austen's characters... "

" I've now got just Northanger Abbey to go to complete my Jane Austen tour. As with all her work, nothing much happens in this book and there's nothing wrong with that. She so completely captures a small society that it never fails to enthrall. "

" Anything by Miss Austen clearly ROCKS. "

" Fanny is probably my least favorite Austen heroine. I found this read less engrossing than her other books. "

" Nice, ultimately fulfilling story. Liked it more than Pride and Prejudice. Enjoyed the mentions of the importance of English garden design in this time period. It's pleasant to gain more understanding of it in context. "

" Splendid. Austen's usual wit and gentle mocking of human folly is here combined with a warm affection for perhaps her only genuinely Christian heroine. I didn't want it to end. "

" Not my favorite Jane Austen. I had a harder time engaging in the relationship between Edmund and Fanny! "

" just why really just no. "

" I had to read this book for book club and I absolutely hated every second of it. But I also am probably one of the least likely people to like Jane Austen or anything similar. "

" My least favorite of Jane Austen's book. I like the characters but the middle is so slow. It is good readding to put me to sleep. "

" 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 "
