Sense and Sensibility (Adaptation) Audiobook (Unabridged)

" One of the true classics! "

" Jane Austen wrote beautifully! The dialogues in her books are amazing! "

" Two sisters, one sensible as in deep emotionality and passion one having sense and rationality. One looking to get married the other looking to be on the same level as the men. Everyone lives on an estate, Austen is a boring story teller, although indirect passage was unique. If you read this for leisure you're probably a terrible feminist with an unusual social life :P "

" Jane Austen will always be one of my favourite writers and although she only wrote six books, she was talented enough to keep her legacy going. This is not her most intense and intriguing book, as there is very minimal dialogue and the characters are quite complex. Nevertheless, it is wonderful and makes for great bed time reading before one doses off into a comfortable sleep. "

" I think Pride and Prejudice was better than this book. The author surely was being sarcastic when she selected the title for the book. No one in the entire novel had any sense or sensibility. Not one of my favorite books. "

" A classic Jane Austen novel, it presents the amazing story of Marianne and Elinor, two sisters. "

" Enjoyed it very much but not quite as much as P&P. Austen is my favorite author. "

" Confused lovers not realizing they were in love. A thick book considering how simple the problem the characters faced. "

" love this book. great love stories about 2 women. you will not put this down until you finish it. "

" It was interesting to see the differences between the book and the movie. The book was not bad but I did prefer Pride and Prejudice. "

" Great characters. Good understanding of women's status and lack of options in early 1800s. "

" I was a bit young, I need to read it again with more mature eyes. "

" First Jane Austen book I finished. It was quite nice, I took quite a few breaks from reading it, like long-ish breaks. But it was interesting, with lots of characters and several cute plot twists. I quite enjoyed it :) "

" Another Austen classic which has the romance woven all though that only Jane Austen can weave "

" Fabulous, of course. I sometimes wonder if I don't like this one better than Pride and Prejudice. "

" Period pieces are usually my favorite movies, but that rarely translates into my reading preference... But I love this one "

" One of my favorite books by Austen. I reread this every year or so and enjoy it more than Pride & Prejudice. Haven't found a movie version I can stand though, LOL1 "

" The only book i read every year. It's a classic story about love and trust and three young women trying to find their way in the world. "

" I think this is my favorite Jane Austin book. "

" This is my least favorite Jane Austen book. "

" Charming, light, easy to fly through. Superb way to spend a summer in England--a hundred and fifty years ago. "

" Not as good as "Pride and Prejudice" but still a good read. "

" "Love the archaic languagelove the storybut glad I saw the movie first. Can't go wrong with Jane Austen!" "

" We all know Mariannes and Elinors. "

" This was the first Jane Austen book I ever read, and I honestly didn't enjoy it as much as I had hoped. It was a really s-l-o-w beginning and then just as it was getting really good, it was over. :( I enjoyed Persuasion much more. "

" My third favourite Austen. The contrast between the sisters seems to show the pitfalls of extremes but the best of personalities as well. Despite being so different they are both sympathetic characters so I hoped they would both have happy endings. "

" I think every teen girl has read this one. Does it matter that she is too sharp? too unkind? cares about money? is love more important than money? I think the novel is complex and engaging, I love some things and hate other but that is always how I feel when I read Austen's work. "

" Much better the second time around. I have a much greater appreciation for Elinor and Colonel Brandon now. "

" I just read this book for the second time recently, and I think I loved it even more. It has the perfect balance of the humorous parts and also the character growth and development that Jane Austen is so good at. "

" This officially reigns as my least favorite Austen. Everyone was hateful. The only character I liked was Mr. Palmer. And even though I didn't like Marianne, I hated that the narrator smugly declared that she married someone she didn't love. Also, why skip over the proposals? Hmph. "

" This is one of my favorites. I really like the characters in this book. It gives you a great look into the Regency era. "

" It's a classic. Can't say it was really fantastic, but for the time period it's great. "

" I've read this novel several times, and I always enjoy it. It's witty and funny and insightful. "

" Great book, one of JA's best "

" Je l'ai lu en français. Le titre en français était LE COEUR ET LA RAISON. J'ai aimé mais un peu moins que Pride and prejudice. L'adaptation cinématographique de 1995 avec Emma Thompson est formidable. "

" I liked this book, but not as much as Pride and Prejudice. I found Marianne to be very annoying. I was glad to see her improve by the end. I definitely don't think they should have been so quick to forgive Willoughby, though. "

" I find it funny - all that mothers, whose only wish is to marry their daughters well. I can´t imagine to live in 19th century, or when it was written, can you? :) "
