Sense and Sensibility (Everyman's Library, No. 51)

Rating:
Summary: Outstanding listening!
Review: The audiocassette of "Sense & Sensibility" read by Sarah Badel is truly outstanding. I love S&S anyway, but Ms. Badel's reading has enriched my understanding of it enormously, especially Jane Austen's sparkling dialogue. I don't know how often I laughed out loud (at Mrs. Jennings), or exclaimed with worry about poor Elinor and her carrying of everyone else's burdens. No, I'm not crazy, it's just that Jane Austen read aloud by an expert, articulate, dramatic reader does that to a person. I highly recommend this for those who listen to books on tape; you will cherish every word. Ms. Badel and Maureen O'Brien are the best readers I've encountered yet.

Summary: Good
Review: The only thing I didn't like was that Marianne ended up getting married with the one she married. But I loved it, it was the first Jane Austen's book I read and she's my favorite author until now.
