Members Reviews:
Entertaining and Moderately Engaging
Would you listen to Hope and Sensibility again? Why?
Probably not. It was a fun listen and I enjoyed it overall especially one big shocker for me, but there were things I found less satisfying, too.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Hope and Sensibility?
There were a few, but I think when Ben spoke to Darcy of how he would miss him most if Darcy wasn't in his life.
What about Pearl Hewitts performance did you like?
I thought she was amazing the well she distinguished all those voices and told such a good story.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Well I don't know if it would be considered moving, but when Bingley finds himself in trouble because a few villains plotted and trapped him, I found that quite a shocking turn of events.
Any additional comments?
This is the third book in a series and shouldn't be read standalone or out of order.
Overall, I enjoyed this trilogy and would recommend it even if the first book is probably the strongest. There are several interesting elements brought out in this one that it was interesting to see pursued.
Fun, romantic and a fabulous narrator!
What made the experience of listening to Hope and Sensibility the most enjoyable?
The narrator Pearl Hewitt made this listen most enjoyable. I could listen to her read the phone book! :) This is the second book i've listened to of hers and she is definitely a favorite. She brings such life to each of the characters. Each character has a distinct voice which completely lends itself to the visualization of them.
What did you like best about this story?
It is a fun, short, romantic story full of adventure. It makes you wish for a simpler time.
Pearl's character voices are so fun. I love the way she does the old haughty characters a lot. You love to hate them.
Which character as performed by Pearl Hewitt was your favorite?
Ben was my favorite character from a previous story I listened to by the same author and narrator. I loved listening to his adventures. Pearl has the most wonderful voice for this character which just makes you want to give him a hug
If you could rename Hope and Sensibility, what would you call it?
I wouldn't
Darcy & Elizabeth Must Endure Wickham's Seductions
Any additional comments?
"Hope and Sensibility" is the next novel following the very successful "He Taught Me to Hope" by P.O. Dixon. [There is also a novella, "The Mission: He Taught Me to Hope Christmas Vignette," and together these books make a great beginning to the series fondly referred to as "Darcy and the Young Knight's Quest."] Like the books in the series before it, Hope and Sensibility is a wonderful alternative telling of family matters involving Elizabeth and Darcy.
In this telling, we are introduced to the charming but scandalous Mr. Wickham, who is secretly engaged to Georgiana, while at the same time successfully seducing Lydia.
