This is not the good version of the classics by Jane Austin, you want the masterpiece not the BBC version.

These videos are everything I thought they would be. My wife and I have had hours of enjoyment.

Horrible

2008-04-25
I barely got through Pride & Prejudice & have no desire to see any of the others. The setting is like a stage play & the acting is very poor. The actor playing Mr. Darcy is stiff, never changes his facial expression, off the mark on the character, & not at all appealing. It definetely isn't worth the money & I'm sorry I wasted mine.

Fairly Pleased....

2008-06-17
I was fairly pleased with this collection of Jane Austen's works. However, I believe the Charles Dickens' collection: Volume 1 was better produced. While I enjoyed Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, and Emma, I thought Mansfield Park, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion were weak, boring, or too compressed, - leaving out much of the action.

I was able to purchase this collection for $35.00. However, at some stores (including many Borders bookstores) the collection would cost more than $35.00. I would not recommend purchasing the collection for any amount of money more than $35.00. This way, when two or three of the films fall short of your expectations, you still have three or four films that made the purchase worth your money.

If you are considering purchasing this set simply for Pride and Prejudice, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion, I would advise purchasing them individually and buying the newer BBC version of Persuasion along with the Masterpiece Theatre version of Northanger Abbey.

(Note: for more information on why I disliked BBC's Northanger Abbey, see my review on Northanger Abbey.)

These are my favorite of the many video renditions of the Jane Austen books. After viewing them, I understood the stories clearly for the first time.

Disappointed

I am a big Jane Austen fan. I have read her books and watched her movies. I was very excited about this collection, but when I received it was very disappointed. The filming seemed more like a home movie than an professional film. I was hoping for something a little more professional.
