Great Expectations (Adaptation): Oxford Bookworms Library Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Excelentnt "

" I have great respect for this book, but I myself don't enjoy it. "

" This is the book that I've re-read almost every couple of years, and I've enjoyed it every bit as much as the first time I read it (or even more, as I read through the parts I like most - in fact, writing this review is making me itch to read it again, right now!). I wished I had the ability to put down in words what I feel each time I leaf through this epic work - it is the lens through which I feel I can examine any feature of humanity! "

" This was an intriguing read. I repeatedly wondered how Dickens came up with such a character as Ms. Havisham. I felt that Pip's love of Estella was absurd and governed his every waking moment. Heartbreak warped this book to the point that most women were wretched shrews and most men were oily cowards. Besides these aspects, I feel that Dickens made his point. Love is the single most dangerous catalyst in the universe. "

" I was most impacted by the protagonist's response to a gift received from a convict, and the change that slowly occurred as he learned more of the convict's story. "

" It was good. I think the novel illustrated "great" expectations in life often are not what we need or receive. The action started out strong and really picked up but some parts of the novel seem like a family off of Maurrey. The length becomes...difficult to persevere through. "

" The story was very interesting and kept me coming back, and the language definitely challenged me, but it was a nice challenge. I learned new language and dialects and much more. The story was very interesting and the endings were both very nice (yes, there are two endings). I totally recommend reading this book to anyone who loves a literary challenge and mystery plot line. "

" This book was very annoying and dragged out. In addition, it wasn't very clear and it composed mostly of old English. "

" Much to much superfluous detail for my taste. "

" I thought it was pretty good... excellent in comparison to A Tale of Two Cities (I'm in no way a history person.). It was a cute story with some GREAT plot twists and shocks. It was a bit difficult to get into, but I am glad I read this classic. "

" Didn't finish reading it, just couldn't get into it. It's like they turned a good film into a bad book, normally the other way around. I can't remember it being that bad at school. Not my kind of book, but others might enjoy it, so read it for yourself :) "

" First Dickens novel. A bit slow at the start but having no idea how it would play out ( not seen any movies) got hooked. Can easy see how it is a great classic. "

" This is a decent book on a micro-level, since the narrative style is pretty good and I laughed out loud a good number of times. As a full book though it's extremely dull and I found myself having to push myself through it other than a few moments where major plot points kicked in. "

" My chosen novel to report in class when I was a junior student. "

" I am definately not a fan of Dickens after reading this. It had a great idea behind it all, but I'm very unfamiliar to the writing style of the period so it was difficult to get with it. I hope to read other books by Charles Dickens and hopefully my perspective of him as a writer will change. "

" I owned this novel 8 years ago and its the first time to read it... Really its Amazing !! :D "

" Hard to read, but good story. "

" Great ending! Still I'm not sure that it was worth reading the first 370 pages to get to the last 100... "

" what detestable in pig more so in boy or girl, lies come from father of lies, must be common scholar to be uncommon cannot get there by being crooked, tears rain up on blinding dust of earth, no varnish can hide the grain of the wood, Estella deceive and entrap. "

" One of the best Dickens books. The tale of the loveable Pip & how his fortunes change thanks to a secret benefactor. "

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

" Miss Havisham can't let bygones be bygones. "

" Very intriguing characters and a very interesting storyline. The plot and writing, however, are not as monumentally awe-inspiring as "A Tale of Two Cities," but a fantastic read nonetheless. "

" Who doesn't love this book. Love the old lady and the house. Amazing story. "

" when i reading i feel Enjoy..!! "

" Read many years ago in the ancient times when I was an undergraduate, but I remember being totally engrossed in this novel's characters. "

" I'm just not a huge fan of Charles Dickens. Can't explain it, just not a fan. "

" It took way too many words to describe things. "

" This is from the author Charles Dickens and it follows an English boy named Pip and it starts out with him meeting a convict. And also other adventures. I did not like the book Pip is boring and there was no reason for me to like it. It just dragged on. "

" A perennial favorite! I still love teaching this novel year after year to my honors 9 students. Dickens has a way with characterization, setting, and timeless themes such as forgiveness, love, justice, and redemption. "

" Another book that I need to give another chance. I read it freshman year of high school in a class I hated with a teacher I despised.... "
