Emma Messenger's accent

[{ "answer" : "My first audio book purchase and a disappointment, basically in the very poor performance by Emma Messenger. An over strained attempt at an English accent peppered by deep souther American drawl ruining the moment. If only she would either read it all in an American accent or correct all the dropped 't' as in 'inimitably' read as 'iniminably'. A well loved story spoiled by a lazy reading.

Narration is ..... okay.

If you love this novel as much as I do then please search for a better narration. Left me unfeeling for the characters where I should have felt more .

Terrible narration

Would you try another book written by Jane Austen or narrated by Emma Messenger?

I added this to my library last year and only just got around to listening to it.... what a total shock it was. Why oh why do americans try to do the english narration. If you can't pronounce words correctly then why take on something so English as the work of Jane Austen? Seriously? This is painful. Then there is the totally RAISED decibels of Mrs Bennet that made this unbearable to listen to.
I am deleting this from my library as it is too horrible to listen to.

What did you like best about this story?

Fantastic story totally ruined by the narrator

Would you be willing to try another one of Emma Messenger’s performances?

NEVER

You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?

NO

Any additional comments?

Please stop Americans from trying to do English books

Terrible narration

This beautiful classic was ruined by the constant near hysterical narration. A shrill performance that was exhausting to listen to.
