Virtual voice is computer-generated narration for audiobooks.
Elizabeth Bennet has spent her entire life hearing about the entail to her father’s estate and the laments of her mother about being thrown into the hedgerows when Mr. Bennet dies.

So, how can the reformation of one man, George Wickham, provide salvation for Elizabeth’s family.

When George Wickham suddenly has an epiphany that changes his life, he enters into the lives of the entire Bennet family and sets a new course for all their lives.

Now, through George Wickham’s efforts, he finds a loophole in the old Bennet will and helps implement it. This loophole will affect the lives of every member of the Bennet family. Their world will be forever changed.

Must agree with previous reviewers: redundant material really bogged down the book. The author appeared to lose track of what scenes got moved where. Rearranged chapters confused (or violated) the timeline. Incorrectly auto-corrected words were distracting. And extraneous or obvious images should be deleted. A couple of characters were two-dimensional. It took way too long to end. It seems as though no one went back and reread the book for simple continuity and flow.

This virtual voice is painfully slow and stilted. I had to listen on 1.2 x speed. Each word is pronounced and the rhythm is completely unnatural.

All that said, it was an interesting, compelling approach to the characters. It was an innovative story, with a sympathetic, if fantastical, variation of a classic villain’s potential. I’m glad I listened.

Great story, needs rigorous editing.

The storyline is good and does have a lot of potential, however there were many lines repeated over and over pretty much verbatim when characters were explaining situations info, etc that adds a lot of extra time to the reading,. There were many errors in grammar and since it’s virtual voice, it read everything, where an actual person could skip the mistakes and accidental repeated words. The overall plot is a great idea. Virtual voice wasn’t too bad.

Storyline is good and had a lot of potential,

This story was very interesting, but longer than it needed to be. Virtual voice mispronounced way too many words.

Good story line

I enjoyed seeing how Elizabeth was encouraged to develop talents typically limited to men in JAFF novels, while retaining her warmth and love of love. It also showed new aspects of other characters, including Wickham, Collins, Kitty and Mary. The story was quite long and somewhat repetitive. It would have been even better with more editing.

Fascinating view of Elizabeth’s talents
