Abridged!
Maybe my fault for not reading details but be aware this is a quite badly abridged version (but read excellently)

Abridged too far
while I understand stories can sometimes be abridged, I was sorry to hear the most important communication between Elizabeth and Darcy had too much cut from it...." you are a gentleman and I am a gentleman's daughter, thus far we are equal!, there is nothing about your address which would have tempted me to accept you, had you behaved in a more gentleman like manner"....... This was shortened too much....it was the crux of Darcy re considering his own behaviour.......

ABRIDGED
Excellent Juliet Stevenson, excellent Jane Austen but ruined by abridging this classic-should have read the small print. Very disappointed!

Disappointment
Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice is one of the best loved and best known classics of English literature. This version is read by Juliet Stevenson, one of the best readers, whose voice is perfectly suited to Jane Austen's style. However the book has been so cut up, so clumsily and brutally abridged, and so much of Jane Austen's elegant writing has been removed that it is hardly possible even to follow the bare bones of the story. We jump from one scene to another with no explanation, making it almost impossible to understand what is happening and with no attempt to build the atmosphere or to flesh-out the characters. Jane Austen's very real, understandable and amusing characters have seem reduced to mere cardboard cut-outs, and this is hardly more than a bald synopsis of thestory. A desecration!
