Audiobook Review: Pride and Prejudice
Listening to Pride and Prejudice as an audiobook was a delightful surprise, even for someone who already knew the story from both the Hollywood and Bollywood adaptations. I hesitated at first, wondering if it would hold my interest since I knew the twists and turns, but I’m so glad I gave it a try. Experiencing it in audiobook form felt like a fresh perspective, bringing the timeless charm of this classic to life.
At first, I struggled with the slow pace and the 19th-century societal norms that dominate the story—marriage, manners, and endless gossip. Mrs. Bennet’s antics didn’t help; her obsession with finding husbands for her daughters is as grating as ever. But once Mr. Collins entered the scene, things picked up, and I found myself drawn into the witty dialogues and the growing connection between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy.
The audiobook excels in capturing the evolving dynamics of Lizzy and Darcy’s relationship. Their character development is the heart of the story, and hearing Lizzy’s realization about Darcy’s true nature was incredibly satisfying. The narration adds depth to their emotions and makes the slower moments more engaging.
While the pace might feel slow for fans of fast-moving plots, the audiobook never becomes boring. It’s perfect for savoring Austen’s elegant prose and sharp social commentary. If you’re looking for a classic love story with brilliant writing and memorable characters, this audiobook is an excellent choice.
