thecaptainsquarters 's review for:

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
5.0

Ahoy there mateys! The First Mate recommended a P & P retelling to me and I listened to it recently.  Reviews to come about that book.  Listening to that made me want to revisit the original.  I downloaded a copy from the library and slowly realized that it was by my favorite audiobook narrator Katherine Kellgren!  She goes by Kate Kellgren for this production which is how I originally missed it when looking for her audiobooks.  Divine!  I love this book as much as ever.  This listen through I spent a lot of time on how much of a jerk Mr. Darcy is.  Seriously.  I know Elizabeth forgives him and then blames her prejudice as means to forgive him but bah!  JERK.  Lizzy did jump on the Wickham band wagon but so did everyone.  I think she is too hard on herself.  It was lovely to visit this favorite in this way.  Jane Austen is so lovely.  I will get the First Mate to watch "Love and Friendship" with me this weekend.  I still need to read Persuasion for the first time.  I know, right?  Should I read or listen to it?  Thoughts from the crew?  Also isn't the first line of the novel just perfect?

I need to buy a copy of this audiobook version for sure. Any other favorite audiobook narrators for this story? Arrr!
