Good sound design and acting. Emma Thompson's role as Jane Austen (narrator) worked well the explain the things that can't be done with dialogue. Acting was good and I especially liked the snide and sneaky Mr. Thorp. ( ) "...but while I have Udolpho to read, I feel as if nobody could make me miserable." I went on a listening binge with this one as the dramatized, multiple cast recording was entertaining. Having said that, I read the unabridged version of Northanger Abbey in 2014 and gave it a three star rating. Perhaps listening to a well produced audio version allowed me to pick up on more of the intended symbolism but I think a lot of it still went over my head. Besides the naive Catherine Morland, most of the other characters were just plain unlikable and annoying. Henry Tilney does not make a good romantic hero. Supposedly it was purposely written that way, as an aspect of the parody theme. Overall, I think the story comes across much better via audio but it still doesn't rate among my favorite classic novels. As for other novels by Miss Austen, I still have not read Persuasion, Sense and Sensibility and The Watsons and am hoping to (eventually) be pleasantly surprised by one of those stories. Rating details: Five stars for the excellent narration, adaptation and production of this audio version. A begrudging three stars for Miss Austen's original story and cast of characters. Rounding this out to four stars, as I am not certain how else to give the audiobook a fair rating. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
