À propos de cet audio

One of the most revered works in English literature, Great Expectations traces the coming of age of a young orphan, Pip, from a boy of shallow aspirations into a man of maturity. From the chilling opening confrontation with an escaped convict to the grand but eerily disheveled estate of bitter old Miss Havisham, all is not what it seems in Dickens’ dark tale of false illusions and thwarted desire.

Raised by a humble blacksmith, Pip is recruited by the wealthy Miss Havisham to be a companion to her ward, the cold but beautiful Estella. There, Pip learns to despise his rough origins as Estella torments him about his low prospects. When Pip is informed that an unknown benefactor expects to make him his heir, he sets off to London to realize his “great expectations.” But true gentleman stature, he will find, is a matter of character, not fortune.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“Observe how finely the narrative is kept in one key. It begins with a mournful impression—the foggy marshes spreading drearily by the seaward Thames—and throughout recurs this effect of cold and damp and dreariness; in that kind Dickens never did anything so good…No story in the first person was ever better told.” (George Gissing, English novelist)

I have always had a hard time (no pun intended) getting into Dickens, and settled on Great Expectations as an accessible first book to read all the way through. My resolve lasted 4 chapters and I just couldn’t get the tone quite right when reading to myself. After sampling half a dozen audiobooks this narration seemed the most promising and, over eighteen hours later, I’m pleased to report that not a single scene was lacking in feeling or tone. Prebble strikes the right balance between humour and drama, and you feel the ups and downs as if you’re experiencing the story firsthand.

The best narrator

An excellent narration of a timeless story! I’ve read this book 2x over the years, but this narration brought the story to life in such a way that I caught so many details that I’ve never noticed before. I especially “fell in love” with the way Joe Gargery was voiced🥰. Well done!

Superb

If writing my obituary, I would want to include the accomplishment and JOY of having read this book, so beautifully performed. Read it. Your life will be the richer.

A must-read for every bucket list

The book was long, but the audio book made it much easier to get through than reading it.

Long

I only got this book because I had to read it for English class of my senior year.

Simon (the narrator) only made around 5 mistakes that I found (such as "her" instead of "his") which I only noticed because I happen to be looking at the page simultaneously. His voice was pleasant and I feel it captured the interesting chatacters from Dickens very well.

About the story: it was easy to follow but I did find myself tuning out at times. I can't say if it is from listening to it for around 7 hours straight each session or if the story was lacking. I find when I did listen, it was enjoyable, even for an assignment.
