The Grand Sophy (Abridged) Audiobook

" Super fun, light reading. Just loved it. "

" Very well written but not exciting enough for me. She uses formal language from her time period of the the early 1900's. If you are a regency junkie you would probably like this as well. "

" Suprisingly, not one of my favorite Heyer books. The heroine and her plots were just a little over the top. Still a fun read. "

" Loved Sophy!! An amazingly, brash person!! She was very clever. Liked this book. "

" My favorite Georgette Hayer book. Sophy's adventures are funny and captivating. The book keeps you guessing until the very end. A suspenseful, can't put it down, classic romance. In the numerous Hayer books I read all in a row, this one stood out. "

" A classic. Sophy returns to England from the battlefields of Spain (her father is a diplomat) and discovers her cousins in desperate need of her organizational skills. This summary, of course, doesn't do justice to Heyer's wit or clever characterization. Laugh-out-loud funny in spots! "

" I loved this one and it might be my favourite. "

" Every character was so silly and each of them had no particular sense; but I guess that's the fun of the book. Don't read this if you can't take a joke or tend to take everything seriously. It's meant to be purely fun and cathartic. "

" What a fun read. Thanks Cat! "

" I've read tons of Georgette Heyer books most of them more than once and absolutely love them. "

" This was a fun book. Sophy is a fun character. It is a typical one of her stories but I enjoyed it none the less. "

" this is the book i pick up to read when i am feeling depressed. it never fails to make me feel better! "

" I love a good Georgette Heyer and this is one of her best! "

" I think I found a new author to read! Her story was wonderful, complex, realistic characters, and NO LOVE! Characters developed friendship, not passion! "

" A fun romp. A spunky heroine, a colorful cast of characters. I think if anyone likes regency romance, they will like this. "

" All of Georgette's books are so well written it is often her last book which I have just finished which is my favorite!!! "

" Georgette Heyer makes it a-okay for people to marry their cousins (which is in all reality how it was back then... it just has a certain 'ick' factor.) "

" I really found this book enjoyable. It took a little getting used to the regency styled writing/prose, but once I got a bit of a hang of it I completely enjoyed the story and the overall fun of the book. "

" I'm not generally into Regency romances, but I've been hearing about this one for so long I finally gave in and read it. Turns out it is, in fact, a very entertaining book with much more relatable characters than I would have expected. Fun read. "

" I enjoyed Sophy! What a fun character! Extremely perceptive, clever, and calculating--in a positive way. Though she turns their lives upside down, they are happier for it in the end. A fun read. "

" This book is such a treat. Sophy is a whirlwind and a delight. The mischief and scheming is never ending. I loved her constant antagonizing of Charles. Their relationship is really the most fun to read. Made for a Masterpiece production. "

" Hilarious main character, very well written. "

" Maybe my favorite Georgette Heyer. I also love Arabella, Venetia, and Regency Buck. This one has the most dialogue and the most humor. Light, romantic (clean), funny. Heyer wrote in the 1930's in England. More entertaining than Jane Austen. "

" I would have given this book a five, except for the sudden, unexpected anti-Semitism. I skip that chapter for the rest of the romp. "

" Enjoyed it. Involves matchmaking and meddling similar to Jane Austen's Emma, but with more success. "

" One of my favorite Georgette Heyer's yet! Sophy is so clever, independent, and diplomatic! As always Georgette Heyer creates a family that I fell in love with too! "

" A little dated but better than I would have thought considering it's from the '50s. "

" lively story that makes you fall in love with the main character Sophy... "

" Jane Austen meets Oscar Wilde. A delightful read! "

" This was really fun. A great escape to another time and place with a feisty heroine and witty language. "

" Very reminiscent of Jane Austen's writing. "

" Entertaining. I guess Georgette Heyer is the John Grisham of Jane Austen. "

" My all-time favourite when it comes to the historical novels of Georgette Heyer. The humour with which it is written can still make me laugh. "
