Northanger Abbey (version 2)

Beautifully read

A LibriVox Listener

This is not my favorite of her works, but it is well read. It wraps up rather quickly, and the answer to the mystery isn't so deep as they would make it out to be in the text, but certainly still worth a listen.

Enjoyable!

I thoroughly enjoyed this delightful work from Jane Austen. Elizabeth Klett’s talented voice makes it easy to follow, and I especially loved her delicate British accent for the characters. Although Northanger Abbey is not a profound, thought-provoking work fit for discussion, it is a lovely slice of witty entertainment. Catherine is a believable, friendly heroine, and after a few chapters you’ll find yourself cheering for Mr. Tilney, her preferred suitor. But be prepared to want to read The Mysteries of Udolpho!

Anything of Jane Austin's

Angels Walk

This LibriVox volunteer is clearly a cut above our average narrator, and brings us a story not always fondly reviewed, yet with all the elements we crave. It asks us only to allow our imagination free reign, our heart, an afternoon of free time and it will give us genuine Joy in return.

Elizabeth Klett is one of the finest readers/performers in the world of audiobooks. Her delivery is lively, her diction impeccable, and her accents lovely and accurate. This is the only Austen work I haven’t read myself, and it is a pleasure to hear it presented so beautifully in this version.

Accent switching disconcerting

Elizabeth Klerk does a terrific English accent and reads very well. My only complaint is her switching back to her American accent for the narrative passages, which brings one out of the happy “suspension of disbelief” with an unpleasant jolt.

Very well read, lighter in topic, than longer novels.

TLocke

Almost a clever spoof of then gothic romances of this era, presented with Austin's usual subtle wit. She really catches the near "contagion of ideas" so easily and excitedly shared among girls in the process of becoming women. As usual, her characters are well written all their good, quirks and hidden secrets. Not her finest, but even her least novel is a good read.

again.. only for mrs Elizabeth Klett.

of all the Jane austen i have forced myself to listen to, this one is atleast the least drivel of them all. good story tho long and laggin in some points, of course ends as all expect it to be. just another Austen down only for the sake of ms Kletts narration skills. Elizabeth is the only reason i have been able to stomach Austens works.

Terrific Reader

Tank you, Elizabeth for an awesome reading of Northanger Abbey for us! This is not my favorite Jane Austen novel but it's different and variety is said to be the spice of life! After all the details Jane gives us in the courtship phases, it always seems like the ending is a bit rushed to wrap up. I would prefer more details!
