Download Great Expectations Audiobook

" Though it is expertly written, and has some interesting moments, Great Expectations is boring for most modern readers. It hasn't aged well. Still, it is a classic, and you should expect it to be in a classic style while reading it. "

" I thoroughly enjoyed this classic. I can't believe they make young people read this. So many references may be list without "life experience". The dialect and old country way of speaking took some time to get used to but after the halfway mark it moved fairly quickly. So glad I read this. "

" This is just horrible... This book was so slow and boring it's unreal... I've had this book since January and really all the chapters are fucking stupid. Can't believe we have to write a book report on this shit here. All copies of this book needs to burned and never to be read again! 0 stars for me >:(~! "

" Same as always good story but too wordy. "

" What great classic novel ! Read it lots of times but not satisfied . Still gonna read of again. Hats off to Charles Dickens = ] "

" I liked it the best of all the Dicken's novels I've read. It seems more mature than say Oliver Twist where the main character was high-born all along and ends up taking his place in society. It has an appropriate ending with hope but not with all problems solved but with Pip and Estrella maturing. Many of the most sympathetic characters are low-born unlike Oliver Twist. In fairness in Hard Times it is the same and obviously its what Dickens is reknowned for but in this book the characters are also realistic. "

" I adore Dickens. It's amazing how the reader can connect to characters written so long ago. "

" This book had an incredibly slow beginning but by half way through I was hooked. I can see why it is a classic and one of Dickens finest novels as it surely transcends time. "

" I read this for the first time when I was in high school but I didn't really remember this book. I found this time through that the novel had so many themes that related to modern day life, like trying to fit in somewhere you don't feel like you belong, that aren't always as easily relateable in other Dickens novels. I felt like the book had a good flow to it, was easy and enjoyable to read, and that the story and the characters lacked maudlin sentimentality that Dickens frequently lets pervade his stories and particularly his female characters. "

" Great book - it may be hard to get over the language at first. This book has a great way of working the story slowly and subtley building the tempo - mystery and intrigue. Dickens's descriptions really bring you into the world and immerse you in the atmosphere of the book. He takes a simple story and seemingly normal characters and makes them his own - each character is interesting and relatable and you are hooked in the story before you know it. "

" Can't believe I only read this just now. "

" Al principio me dio medio de fiaca y el personaje me ponia de mal humor con eso de "soy pero no soy lo suficientemente bueno", pero despues se vuelve muy bueno y el final me gusto mucho... "

" How can you miss with Dickens? "

" really,an increadibly written book by charles dickens "

" This is my favorite Charles Dickens. I can get lost in this book over and over! "

" Absolute masterpiece - what can you say about it that hasn't already been said? "

" Behavioural economics in practice, 100 years before we started to think about it. "

" Ay, ay, ay. It's quite heavy and slow. However, I'm amazed that this book became an inspiration for many authors. "

" I also read the movie book(with Gweneth and Ethan, lol, Lived that flick. "

" I loathed this book. To me it was boring and repetitive. I hated that we were required to read it and I will NEVER read it again. "

" I thoroughly enjoyed this classic. I can't believe they make young people read this. So many references may be list without "life experience". The dialect and old country way of speaking took some time to get used to but after the halfway mark it moved fairly quickly. So glad I read this. "

" Dickens, a master of characterization and social commentary. Always good. "

" I decided to tackle Great Expectations this year because it was on my shelf. I liked the plot of the book and the ending. Sometimes I had a hard time understanding what was being said. I'm glad I can add this classic to my have read list but I think I liked Tale of Two Cities much better. "

" Though the writing was of high quality, the book was depressing overall. Although I sense the point Dickens' is trying to make through Pip's unwise choices and attitudes, those same choices and attitudes (as well as those of many other characters) irritated me and made me dislike the book. "

" I actually loved this book. I love that the entire book was written in first person and was such a breeze to read through. Highly recommended! "

" Well, we all are Pips these days... somewhere... somehow... "

" great book, surprised by the ending. would read again. "

" I re-read this every January and each year find out funnier. "

" Your most wanted dreams and life motivations strangely change over time in a very unique way. "

" A "Dickens" of a book, haha, but seriously, not having had "great expectations", haha, get it? I was surprised to find this to be a "pip" of a book, hahah! Seriously, though, this book is fucking awesome, primly ensconcing itself in at least my top 20 novels of all freakin' time. "

" I am one of those who consider this old Dicken's greatest work. A beautiful book. "

" This was another book I read for school. It was an okay book, but I found it hard to understand, taking away from the book's plot. "

" I absolutely love this book. I can't quite put my figure on why but something draws me in each time I read it. "

" Much to much superfluous detail for my taste. "

" The book is very well written. The plot twist was great. I probably wouldn't read the book again, but it was good. I enjoyed the book but not to the point to tell people to read it. It is not my type of book. I usually wouldn't read a book like this,but it was good. "

" We loved this book! Charles Dickens' writing is not the least bit dated even though we read the book 162 years after it was published. The book was both funny and heartbreaking and Pip's growth from a self-absorbed, pompous boy to an admirable and loyal man makes for an absorbing story. "

" Charles Dickens is one of the finest authors from England. Read these books in school. Timeless classics "

" I read David Copperfield and found it delightful. I had no idea I would like it so much. I'm taking a break from Mr. Dickens but can't wait to read some of his other stuff. "

" Though I didn't read this exact version, I have read these all unabridged and these are probably my top five favorite Dickens works. "

" This was my first post-high school Dickens and it is incredible! - That guy could write - Highly recommend
