This is the elite version of this book. PnP is perfection in a novel so what I'm going to talk about is Rosamund Pike's performance. It's incredible. All of the characters feel unique and their voices match the personalities sooo well. She plays Jane exactly as she did in the 2005 film and I adore her for that 15/10. I've read this dozens of times and even listened to different audio versions, but this one is just so right. In the way that Shakespeare was never meant to be only read but performed and you only truly understand the story once it's is done so, this feels like the right way to tell this story. Because the society, humor, and manners are so far from modern day, the performance adds another layer of context and detail that only serve Austen's intent.

Review for Dreamscape audiobook only.

Really enjoyed this production. The narrator's voice and accent are pleasant and she reads the characters well. 

For example, Mrs. Bennet is appropriately ridiculous but not over the top shrill and annoying as she is in other productions I've tried.

i love the dialogue, the social commentary, and how much more humorous it is than i expected. it is a novel of manners and not a romance as often advertised, and better for it.
