A bit boring
The storyline drags a bit but I got through it. At least with a historical fiction, there is always the interest in hearing described the places at the time, in this case, Bath of England. I have to say it though, Jane Austin has nothing on the Brontë’ sisters.

A surprising delight!
For years I have considered Northanger Abbey to be a ‘lesser’ Jane Austen text, purely due to its lack of adaptations. I could not have been more wrong! I absolutely loved Catherine, despite the hilarious narration constantly reminding us she wasn’t born to be a heroine. Henry is a surprisingly different Austen leading man, with his obvious interest in Catherine from the start unlike the Darcys, Knightleys, Farrars, Wentworths and Edmunds of the world!
My only issue with the narration was the inconsistent volume which blasted my ears at a few points with General Tilney, but it was beautifully read with great characterisation.
I’ll be listening again.

loved it
loved it, never wanted to stop. I wish the story kept going, but it also ends very well.

Amazing!
Jane Austen’s works are always full of characters that make me smile. She must have been so piercingly observant of human nature in her small circle of acquaintance. I so wish she had lived to write more novels.

Northanger Abbey
It was a nice coming-of-age love story. I am particularly fond of the heroine and the maturation she underwent. The writing itself was flowery and poetic which made it easy to read despite being first published centuries ago. I feel like it lacked conflict but was still great. I recommend this book.

Pure delight!
This is such a fun, light-hearted Jane Austen story, and I often turn to it when life is a bit hard or stressful. I was a bit disappointed with this audio version because I felt the narrator’s renditions of the male characters were not fantastic. Having said that, it would take a lot more than that to ruin this book for me.

lovely narrator
what a lovely voice this narrator has. I hated Thorpe all the more for his vile voice and character haha but I wish she had done Tilney's voice different, it made him sound rather pompus
