About this audiobook

In what may be Dickens's best novel, humble, orphaned Pip is apprenticed to the dirty work of the forge but dares to dream of becoming a gentleman — and one day, under sudden and enigmatic circumstances, he finds himself in possession of "great expectations." In this gripping tale of crime and guilt, revenge and reward, the compelling characters include Magwitch, the fearful and fearsome convict; Estella, whose beauty is excelled only by her haughtiness; and the embittered Miss Havisham, an eccentric jilted bride

Ratings and reviews

Not only is this a brilliant novel, but the narrator is absolutely incredible. Really brings the range of characters to life and switches brilliantly between Dickens' masterful and poetic prose, to the jocular and often comical dialogue of the key figures. I've listened to loads of audio books and this is the best narrator I've ever heard.

what a wonderful narration! I could understand them workout reading them. you see, I think of challenging myself to listen properly instead of using my eyes ... I would be eager to listen to the whole thing soon.

narrator is wonderful (though a few times sounds like they are chewing gum!) they really bring the characters to life.
