I received a digital copy of this audiobook from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I have read and listened to pride and prejudice at least 100 times. So obviously I love the story as so many do therefore my review is a reflection of the audiobook performance.
I think an introduction to the style of reading and the dialects employed would be very appropriate in this case. As an American from the mid west my ears are used to hearing a straight read with an upper crust accent of English lit or if voice acting is done I’m used to hearing uniformly the higher classes all voiced the same and the common people with different unsophisticated accents. So to me and I would guess many Americans the dialect of speech used by some of our characters were a little surprising but upping googling the dialect of their home regions seemed more appropriate but this is not something many Americans would be aware of without some introduction and therefore may feel not quite correct.
The personality infused to each character was excellent and shown new light on gems of wit and wisdom that had previously been less appreciated by me. Sound quality was very good.
So to summarize this is voice acted by one person and the dialect accents used by various characters may be unfamiliar to American ears. 4.5/5
