I don't think I would have managed to get through the printed version of this book but the audio version made the story far more accessible. In fact, it was downright charming and very funny at times. Bronte's description of the self-centered "upper crust" people the protagonist worked seemed -- as the British say -- "spot on." Granted, the romantic plot seems trite and overwrought by today's standards (don't they all?). You feel like just screaming at everyone to "For heaven's sake -- just TELL him how you feel!!!" But they just didn't do that back then.

Anyway, the story is nice and the narrator was terrific. If, like me, you'd like to expose yourself to more of the classics, audio books are the way to go.

Only on Chapter 3...but for a classic, it seems to move fairly quickly. I anticipate this book to be a well-worth-read.
