i've just finished this and it's really lovely. i've tried before to read the book, but somehow i couldn't get through it but this recording is what finally got me to finish this novel. Savage is such a nicely paced and dynamic reader. she adds enough twists to each character to make them different and memorable without being overbearing, i really enjoyed this reading, so thank you for doing it. (my original review from a few months ago: only just started, but it's really good so far, nicely read, and well paced.)

Outstanding

Jane Austen read by Karen Savage - who could ask for more? Karen's interpretation is wonderful. Her reading of Captain Wentworth's letter is superb. I also have her Pride and Prejudice down loaded in my library. The best way to enjoy Jane Austen when you're not abke to sit down with the book.

Excellent reading. Karen Savage is skilled and well paced, and her wonderful performance allowed me to get lost in the story. Thank you to Ms Savage!

My favorite Austen novel!!

I do love this story. And it's great to be able to listen to it while I'm doing other things around my home. I really enjoyed the way Ms Savage reads. She's one of my very favorite narrators. Hey voice is very smooth and pleasant. She really gives life to the characters, and does justice to all she reads.

I will listen to anything read by Karen Savage

Persuasion does not need a review, it is quintessential Austen and it is a slow burn that is satisfying and calming. Karen Savage again does an amazing job and it is a great honor to listen to her read.

My favorite narrator- Karen Savage’s reading of Persuasion and Pride and Prejudice have been like my grown up Good Night Moon since 2014, helping me sleep and get back to sleep. I so appreciate her wonderful talent and her generosity in sharing it with the world. My 2 grown up daughters feel the same. Thank you Karen and all the other Librivox volunteers!

Great insights into a bygone age

This book has the right mixture of good, kind people and selfish, self serving ones. It is hard to imagine women being so frail and uneducated as most in the story were. Ann, the heroine is definitely the exception with her keen observation of true human character. Ms. Savage is the perfect narrator for this book

In the first few minutes the reading feels almost rushed, but as it continues Savage slows down a bit which I appreciate. She is particularly good giving the different characters their own voices. I especially enjoyed her rendition of Anne's father.
