"My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you." If you just heaved a contented sigh at Mr. Darcy's heartfelt words, then you, dear listener, are in good company.

What did you like best about Jane Austen Made Me Do It? What did you like least?
A few of the stories had some of the wit and insightful characterizations I anticipated, but most were tangentially related. Many could have been any romance characters rather than Austen-related. Some were supernatural. Stand-outs were Maria Lucas's letters to Lydia Bennett (story and narrator both excellent) and the difficulties that occur when newly-married Mr. Knightly begins to make his home at his wife's home with his demanding father-in-law, Mr. Woodhouse.
Would you recommend Jane Austen Made Me Do It to your friends? Why or why not?
No. Both the writing and narration of the stories are way too uneven in quality. Listening to the good ones does not make up for the duds.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Several people narrate the stories. The most frequent narrator has the most pedestrian, uninflected, slow voice I have ever run across among Audible's offerings; another multiple narrator is also far below typical Audible quality. Many of the stories suffer from snooze-inducing delivery. None of the narrators is excellent.
Did Jane Austen Made Me Do It inspire you to do anything?
Yes. To take advantage of Audible's return policy after listening to about two-thirds of the stories.
