😎🤪😏I could cry.This is the ABSOLUTE WORST book reading I have ever listened to. Edward Ferrars sounds like an eighty year old. And don’t get me started on Mrs. Dashwood. Good book reduced to a level of... I dunno. I hated it.🤮

lnspindlerMrs. Dashwood ruined it.Who ever chose the vocal recording for Mrs. Dashwood should be tarred and feathered. Dear Lord what went wrong? Her vocal track is clearly a robot with no accent, vocal inflections, or personality. RUINED this audio recording. Also for the love of God it’s called a Piano FORTE (for-tay)!!!!!

CopsdaughterPretty good but...I loved the narrator and Eleanor, but Mrs Jennings and Mrs Dashwood were not good at all. Mrs Jennings sounded like she was recorded in a tunnel, while Mrs Dashwood had no inflection or tone whatsoever. Very disappointed by their parts due to the quality of writing and the otherwise excellent readings. Would love for those parts to be re-recorded.

trewqqssdfgMrs DashwoodIs a computer? Being trained in how to pronounce words? Less grating 2nd time through. Odd choice.

LoverOfAudiobooksToo slowI am trying to be nice about this review... I listened only to chapters 1 and 2. Why is Mrs. Dashwood German?? Or is it Dutch? Also, the reading was very slow and foggy. To be honest, this was a disappointment to my ears... 😢

Chyrise7I triedThe reader for Mrs. Dashwood is ridiculous. I tried to get through it hoping the other characters would outdo themselves & make up for her but I just couldn’t.

DocNyrOkMost of the reading was good. Mrs Dashwood’s role was read terribly. Horrible reading.

daysflyToo bad for MarianneIt’s not unlikely that, in her great proclivity of nature and passion that Marianne would be so capable of great reading, and in her sense of attachment Willoughby would too be of great consequence. But the unfortunate association with the almost uneducated readings of the ones most dear to her, Mrs Dashwood and Eleanor, might have well driven Marianne’s actress to hysteria. As a dear reader and listener, I found myself almost wont to throw my listening device clear across the room in chapter 14 instead to listen to the women read so raucously Austen’s writing! I am being gracious to the other characters,and in most particular generously pardoning the neutral supposing narrator, by sharing so many stars.

realtalkTrumpSenseless and SensibilityI made it to chapter 11. Listening to this was like nails on a chalk board. I was being generous with 1 Star.

Maddison BrandleyYikesI could only get to chapter 5 before I gave up. Most of the readers are tolerable but there's one that I can't stand. I didn't know it was possible to be that bad. Sounded like Siri only 10 times worse.

Ronjohn HSense and SensibilityI made it till chapter 17 before I simply had to stop. Even my 12 year old said she could do a better job reading. The narrator was fine; but one of the main daughters read like a set of fingernails looking for, and finding, a blackboard. Intolerable.

DeoxyriboneucleicacidGood Book Brought Down by Poor Voice ActingOverall, LoyalBooks productions are very high quality and this is the first for me that has disappointed at all. Sense and Sensibility is well narrated, but a few characters' voice acting and/or sound quality are really, really distracting and drag down the rest.
