Reseñas editoriales
Sense and Sensibility is Jane Austin's first novel, written when she was only 18 years old. Although perhaps less complex then her later work, the novel contains Austin's recognizable wit, graceful prose, and acute observations on the often comedic nature of human society. It is a straightforward romantic comedy, concentrating on the marriage prospects of the two Dashwood sisters who live with their mother on modest means. What Sense and Sensibility lacks in character development, Flo Gibson makes up for with her warm, compassionate performance of the audiobook. Gibson matches her vocal tone to the novel's expressive wittiness, and she gives each of the novel's characters an individuality reflective of an inner quality beyond tone of voice.

What made the experience of listening to Sense and Sensibility the most enjoyable?
Flo Gibson's sonorous soothing voice and vivid characterizations bring literature to life! She is like your favorite English teacher reading to you, and doing all the voices and accents to amuse the class. He warm heart, wit, timing, and deep understanding of literature shine through in all her readings, but most especially in Jane Austen, whose keen insight into the world of emotion. practical philosophy and relationships she seems to share.What was one of the most memorable moments of Sense and Sensibility?
The insolent Fanny Dashwood, has unawares invited the shrewd Lucy and her clod of a sister Anne into her home as a slight to the deserving sisters of her husband - our heroines, Marianne and Elinor. When she discovers Lucy's long-held designs, all chaos breaks loose in one of the greatest comedic scenes in all of English literature! What proceeds changes the story arc in an unexpected, unpredictable and delightful way, but I will not spoil all the surprises for you.Which character – as performed by Flo Gibson – was your favorite?
Another wonderful moment is when the kindhearted but bumbling Mrs. Jennings prophesy about Delaford and its mulberry tree. "Lord how we did stuff" (on its fruits.) She is more perceptive than we may give her credit for at first, and learning to love her over the course of the book (if you do not from the first) is a true delight. One of Jane Austen's most endearing characters for certain! Flo Gibson as Mrs. Jennings is at her comedic best in this recording btw!Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes! But it is deliciously long, and nothing less than entertaining for every moment of the performance. Savor it! I confess I have given a whole day over to Jane Austen once or twice in my life though.Any additional comments?
"Sense and Sensibility" was the first performance I ever listened to by Flo Gibson, and my introduction to Jane Austen, now over a decade ago. I have become a life-long fan of both inimitable ladies, and have listened through all of Flo Gibson's Austen Austen recordings many, many times. What a joy to find them in digital quality on audible, along with many other of Flo Gibson's great performances! Flo Gibson was a long-time and celebrated member of the Jane Austen Society of America, and simply put, no one does Austen better - on either side of the Atlantic- than her warm, insightful self.Flo Gibson is amazing!

The narrator's voice is OK; obviously a smoker with very little change in voice for each charter. I'm fairly certain the voice she uses for Marianne changes throughout the book.
