Sense & Sensibility (Abridged) Audiobook

" Jane Austen is truly a spectacular writer whose books just amaze me every time. "

" Ok, I'm not sure if this book really deserves one star, it deserves 0. I hate this book. This is not a romance novel, this is a soap opera. Seriously. I am so angry for having read this book. It took me ages, reading every page has been a torture. I just hate it. "

" The book is relatively well written and the psychology of the two sisters is interesting. That said, the story is boring. It is long and consists of the trifles of heartbroken, rich whiners from 18th C England. Not very compelling. "

" I love Jane Austen....I can't help it. "

" This is an enjoyable romance with amazingly accurate studies on human nature's behavior, moralities, and faults. What makes it better is the subtlety of Jane Austen's observations. She manages to hold her chwracters up to a glaring light of truth for their foibles in a light humor with compassion for their suffering from those foibles, rather than disgust. I wish I could be as kind as she. However, I could never be as forgiving od the Lucy Steele's and Willoughby's of this world, nor nearly so patient with the emo over-exaggerations and emphasis on lack ofself control and common sense in Marianne. "

" This was an amazing story of sisters, and I loved every minute of it. "

" This was a well-written book. It is low down on my personal list of favorites due to it being a romantic comedy. But objectively, it is very well written and has a good plot that demonstrates the powers of love and sibling bonds. "

" Better than Emma, not as good as P&P "

" Loved it. Loved the movies. I'll take it in any form. Main lined... "

" Jane Austen is the first book I read in English I read when I arrived here all those years ago! Just love her books, I can't help it! "

" There's a reason this one's a classic. On top of the excellent characters and interesting plot, I'm constantly surprised at how darn witty Jane Austen is. "

" Read this again recently. Wow, women have come a long way. What tension "arranging the right marriage" must have been to this generation. So glad I live now and not then. "

" A love story without sex, abuse or violence "

" love affair is no longer a fairy tale. "

" Pretty apt to today's South Asian generation. Great film too. "

" I am an Austen fanatic "

" Terrific, my favorite Austen, I've read it 4-5 times over the years. "

" A woman in those times creating a story still relevant in the 20thcentury. Fleshed out characters , dignified restraint of their choices and your sheer investment in their joys and sorrows. A must read. "

" I guess being a romantic can only get you so far. "

" Though there is some fantastically dry wit here, it doesn't compare to Pride and Prejudice. In some ways, feels like a dry run for the latter. "

" This is my third favorite Austen novel. Elinor is my heroine for being the practical glue to hold her family together in very difficult times. "

" Jane Austen! Do I need to say more? Just love this book! "

" This is a classic for a reason. Exceptional story that is easily translated. "

" Love the relationship between sisters and the rules of engagement of that era. "

" From what I remember, it was a good enough book for me to read on a rainy night in Paris after I went to eat sushi so it must be okay. At the least, I liked it better than its sister, Pride and Prejudice. "

" One of my favorite authors. I love this book! "

" it's so good when you give yourself a gift you will use forever. is it too weird that i really connect with both characters, eleanor and marianne? Jane Austen is pure love. "

" I, along with millions of others, love all of Jane Austen's books. She is without parallel. Enough said. "

" One of Austen's best...wonderful characters...great story...not to be missed! "

" Anything by Jane Austin is a great read. "

" Another great Austen book! I have read this more than once also! "

" My second book by Jane Austen.I read this book when I was on vacation on Crete this June :)It was great book for relax :) "

" I LOVE Jane Austen, but this was just painful. The story is good, but there is virtually no dialogue, and when there is, it's usually Lucy (my least favorite character) talking nonsense. This is Jane Austen's first book, and I think she was still learning a thing or two. "

" boring. like a soap opera. a couple of rich white girls and their problems with getting married to some rich white dudes. do not read this book unless you are trying to figure out how to write a book that nobody will like. "
