5 stars

I have never successfully read a Jane Austen novel as I couldn't get more than a few pages in without losing interest.

I listened to the audio book read by Rosamund Pike; thanks to the narrator's lovely voice, the story was accessible and even enjoyable. The character voices were delightful. Overall, the story was well structured, well paced, had interesting side plots, and even some character development. I enjoyed the insight in a different world and a different time and look forward to exploring more of Austen's work.

Everybody's gonna kill me for only giving it three stars, but honestly it didn't do a lot for me. It's a nice story, well told, etc, etc... but not something that just blew me away. Guess 30 year old men aren't really the target audience, anyway.
