Audio Book Summary

Great Expectations is written in the first person and is virtually a fictional autobiography of "Pip" from his childhood, through often painful experiences, to adulthood. It charts his progress as he moves from the Kent marshes - his social status radically changed having gained an unknown benefactor - to busy commercial London. The book is richly populated with a variety of extraordinary characters many of whom, unbeknownst to them, have lives that are inextricably linked to the others. It is all there, love, hate, passion, humour, rejection, duplicity, betrayal, a whole gamut of emotions and human strengths and weaknesses . This is one of Dickens most fascinating, and disturbing novels. (Summary by Peter Keeble)

    It was wonderful to hear this encouraging story of Pip once again. I last read this 35 or more years ago as a school girl. There is much to learn from the wisdom Pip acquires in this exciting tale. Well read and very enjoyable.

  • Deeply moved and found the narrator was especially skilled in interpreting the historical settings and various personalities beautifully! Read this classic story 50 years ago for a school assignment.

    I now know why this is considered a Classic! Great story that surprises at every turn. Clearly Good and Evil characters; however, some of them you could not discern until the very end! Narration was great but I am a sucker for an Englishnaccent.

    This might be my favorite book of all time. I expect this absolutely stellar narration only adds to the extraordinary talent of Dickens. If you have not enjoyed a book for awhile, you have a treat in store. This is a kiss the cover book. Thank you for such remarkable voice to these unforgettable characters. Loved it again and will for all my days
