I love Pride and Prejudice and I was excited to listen to this audiobook version. Unfortunately, I found the narration hard to listen to. I have always felt that the banter between Mr. and Mrs. Bennett was comical and this narration made it seem trite. Mrs. Bingley was portrayed very shrill, which made it hard to listen to. I also felt that Jane and Elizabeth came off very harsh as well. Overall, this was a miss for me.

Thank you to Net Galley for allowing me the opportunity to listen to this audioARC in exchange for an honest review. . All opinions are my own.

What a fun take on Pride and Prejudice this was. I am not going to go into the details of the story cause it remains the same and one of my favorite books of all time. I have been wanting to re-read Pride and Prejudice for so long as Austen is one of my favorite authors and this was such a fun way to go back into her world. What makes this take unique is the amazing narration of Adjoa Andoh most recently of Bridgerton (as my favorite character Lady Danbury). Adjoa Andoh adds so much depth and world building to this story and her voice truly elevates a classic book. If this is your first time reading Pride and Prejudice I think this audio book is the perfect way to go into the world of Darcys and Bennetts. This audio book brings two of the best things Bridgerton and Austen together.

ALC given by NetGalley and Saga for my honest review.

5 stars for the story, 4 stars for the listening experience - 4.5 stars overall.

A beautiful narration of a classic story, the only fault I could find is that the audio sounded slightly robotic when sped up. I typically struggle to listen to audiobooks at x1 speed, preferring anything from x1.25 - 1.2 depending on the narrator, but even at the lower end of the scale I found this distorted the quality and instead I settled for the original speed.

**received as a NetGalley ARC**

A classic for a reason, from the mother of romance herself.
Still somehow relevant and poignant, this was truly ahead of its time.
Funny, witty, sarcastic and sharp, but not any less sweet and lovely than you expect.

Memorable characters, that you either love or love to hate, dialogue that stays with you, lessons you don't forget.

This is one of those books for me that I can pick up at any point in time and it'll put a smile on my face.
I've read it countless times, in multiple formats, experienced it in various editions, and surely I'll only ever keep adding to that list.

This audiobook version performed by British icon Adjoa Andoh, who lends her clear and resonant voices to these iconic characters and this much beloved story.

It shall always remain: a classic for a reason.

A great version of a well-loved classic with superb narration. Well worth taking the time to enjoy this timeless tale again.

Pride and Prejudice (Premium) by Jane Austen
Narrated by Adjoa Andoh
P & P by Jane Austen. I can honestly say this is one of very few books worthy of five stars in my opinion.
On to the narration by Adjoa Andoh. I have listened to several audio versions of this book and this one is outstanding. It is done with verve and vigor. I loved the prim and prissy voice given to Mr. Collins and the voice for Mrs. Bennett is shrill but that is appropriate for her. I also liked the Northern accent for Mr. Darcy. It made sense because Derbyshire abuts Yorkshire and it makes him sound very manly. Altogether it was an absolute joy.
When this becomes available on Audible I will definitely use a credit to keep it forever.
I would like to hear this narrator do her version of Persuasion.

Pride and Prejudice is, of course, a classic, and I was excited to see a new audio performance. And it is a stellar performance indeed, giving each character their own distinct voice and bringing them to life. This is definitely a new favorite way to experience the classic story.

This was a delightful way to experience a classic, especially not having read it in years! I've enjoyed Adjoa Andoh's narration before (specifically narrating Ann Leckie's The Raven Tower), but I was especially excited to hear her perform Pride and Prejudice. She does not disappoint at all in this regard. Her voices for Elizabeth, Darcy and other sensible characters are perfectly appropriate, but you can almost sense how much fun she is having when she voices the dull and serious Mr. Collins and the overbearing Mrs. Bennett. If I could give this narration an 11/10 rating, I would.

Pride and Prejudice is a timeless classic that holds up on rereading. I enjoyed revisiting this world and these characters, especially now that I have a better understanding of entails, inheritance, and the other complexities of regency society. Elizabeth and Darcy''s romance continues to be incredibly compelling, as they end up truly bringing out the best in each other by the end of the tale.

All in all, a wonderful experience. Adjoa Andoh's narration and "Pride and Prejudice" are a perfect match.

Pride and Prejudice: this book is a classic. It is the perfect enemies to lovers story. I have read this book before but wanted to hear this audio version. The narrator depicted Mrs. Bennett’s personality perfectly, in my opinion. I enjoyed this version of the book.

I love Pride and Prejudice but I've never listened to an audiobook version. Adjoa Andoh was an absolutely fabulous narrator and I fell in love with this book all over again. Her voice is so animated and when it's such a long book it can sometimes be easy to lose interest but not with this version. Truly brilliant.

A classic, hard to believe still is so beloved today. I have rediscovered Pride and Prejudice, it didn’t make much sense to me fifty years ago as a teenager. I did watch a few movies, but in my opinion nothing beats a book. The narrator was fantastic, with so many characters it was a amazing feat! As a audiobook that many characters did getting confusing at times, but with the different voices used, it helped greatly.
Thank you NetGalley for this ARC. I am voluntarily posting an honest review after reading an Advance Reader Copy of this story. #NetGalley #JaneAusten

This audiobook will be published on Feb 22, 2022.

This is my first time reading Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (and was lucky enough to get approved for the audiobook narrated by the amazing Adjoa Andoh). For a first-timer, this audiobook surely did its magic and gave Jane Austen's world justice. The narration and pace were good! Especially the parts where she did different characters' lines. I understood the pronunciations clearly as well as the diction. Kudos to a well-made audiobook! Would definitely recommend it!

Thank you so much to Saga Egmont Audio and NetGalley for the ALC!

I’m always excited by an opportunity to look afresh at my favourite book and had high hopes because I enjoy Adjoa Andoh’s acting.

Unfortunately, I was really disappointed with this version as there were some very strange choices as to voice, pitch and accent, some of which really fight the text.

As well as being a classic romance, P & P is a social satire and a commentary on the class system. The Longbourne family are middle class but Mrs Bennett’s family are in trade and they are the least well-off of the main families, compared to the Bingleys, de Burghs and Darceys. Why the narrator decided to give the Bennett’s all RP English accents, whereas Darcey and his friends all sound like they have escaped from Wuthering Heights, I have no idea. If the aim was a Derbyshire accent, which would still be an odd choice, then it missed by some distance, as it was definitely what Southerners think is a Yorkshire accent.

In a similar vein, Mrs Bennett and Lydia were both too shrill and Elizabeth too deep and masculine much of the time.

With the exception of the evil person who injected zombies into the mix, there’s not much you can do that can ruin P & P for devotees but there are better audiobook versions.

With thanks to NetGalley and the Publisher, Saga Egmont Audio for an arc of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

The premium edition of Pride and Prejudice is the same beloved story Jane Austen penned years ago, but it is now read with linguistic precision by Adjoa Andoh. The enemies-to-lovers romance takes the reader back to the 1800's, where families of a certain status introduced their daughters into the society of men who could promise them a rise or a maintenance in class. Elizabeth Bennet, her four sisters, and her parents live a quiet, practical life in rural England, but the news of a wealthy bachelor taking up a residence in their small area invites the possibility of marriage for one of the five young ladies. The young man, Charles Bingley, brings a company to his home, and among them is Fitzwilliam Darcy. At first, Elizabeth and her family are completely taken by the amiable Mr. Bingley, and they aren't fond of the arrogant Mr. Darcy. However, sometimes even the proudest of men can be encouraged to change if the objects of their affections will dismiss their prejudices.
Over the years, I had heard bits and pieces of the story, but this is the first version to which I listened completely. Jane Austen's words were beautiful, and at times I wondered if I was listening to poetry. The author has a beautiful style, and her characters are well-rounded. Adjoa Andoh read the book with unfailing enthusiasm. The tiniest change in inflection was a clear indication of a switch from one character to another, and condescension and spirit were clear in her voice when she read the parts of certain characters.
I recommend the book to any reader who enjoys classic, sweet, and/or historical romances. I was provided an audio copy of the book by NetGalley, as this version will be available on February 22, 2022.

There’s nothing new for me to say about the greatness of Pride and Prejudice, but it was a real joy to revisit this novel (something I’ve been meaning to do for a long while) for the first time since I last read it in 2011 while studying abroad in England. Adjoa Andoh’s narration is lovely and gives new life to this classic.

I love listening to professional narrators reading Jane Austen, and this one did not disappoint! The narrator did an excellent job in making the characters come alive! I recommend this to every Austenite!

My thanks to Saga Egmont Audio for a review copy of the unabridged audiobook edition of ‘Pride and Prejudice’ by Jane Austen in exchange for an honest review. It is narrated by Adjoa Andoh and has a running time of 12 hours, 33 minutes at 1x speed.

‘Pride and Prejudice’ is one of my all time favourite novels and over the years I have read it a number of times though this is my first time experiencing it as an audiobook. It brought a new dimension to the story, with the satirical aspects being more obvious when delivered by a gifted voice actor.

Adjoa Andoh is not only a celebrated British actor with numerous stage, radio, film and television credits but has a narrated over 200 audiobooks, both individually or as part of a cast.

She has a rich voice and a wide range. I found her especially effective with the more comedic aspects of the story. Her shrill Mrs. Bennett was almost like listening to chalk on a blackboard though this conveyed the essence of the character. Like her daughter Lydia, she is a flibbertigibbet, yet it highlights aspects of the Bennett household.

Overall, a delightful audio adaptation of this classic comedy of manners.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this Audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

I just finished it and it was the first time for me to hate reading/listening to one of my favorite books which is Pride and Prejudice. I didn't like the narrator's voice at all and I didn't want to DNFed it because it's P&P and I can't do that to JA. It was really horrible when she tried making other characters' voices like the one of Mrs.Bennet or Lizzy or the girls' uncle and so on.
All in all, I love P&P but this audio version was bad due to the narrator.

I really enjoyed this version of Pride and Prejudice narrated by Adjoa Andoh! It was interesting to listen to and a great story!
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC of this in exchange for an honest review

When you think that Jane Austen's classic cannot get any better, here comes Adjoa Andoh and brings it to perfection. Listening to her reading Pride and Prejudice aloud is like having a premier seat at the theater. I loved every minute of this audio book.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Saga Egmont Audio for this Advance Review Copy.
