British accent is good, but pronunciations are definately lacking. I wouldn't spend money on it.

Wouldn't buy virtual voice

I don’t like computer generated voices. Words mispronounced and very little emotion for the characters!

Great story line!

I enjoyed the plot line with Darcy becoming Earl. Elizabeth is a strong and resourceful character. I always enjoy a strong Anne deB, and this story doesn’t disappoint.

Interesting plot Darcy as Earl

Many things happen in this variation and most defy common sense. The thing that vexed me most was the contradiction between Darcy publicly announcing his courtship to a woman he believed was not someone he could marry because of fear of public opinion. In spite of this, and other implausible things, the story moved fast and was rather fun to read.

Implausible but entertaining

One step up from bad to worse. I’ve heard worse P&P sequels. This one started okay, but began heading downhill after the first couple of chapters in terms of going from unlikely to improbable to … nope. Kidnapping, ransoms, Anne DeBourgh running off with a stable hand, and none of it in any way related to any sort of insight into human nature, which was Austen’s specialty, and the reason she remains popular to this day. This was a standard issue paperback romance, implausible, and didn’t need to be labeled as bearing any relation to Austen.

From Meh to bad
