Gelesen von Mark F. Smith

(4.7 stars; 1561 reviews)

This classic tale tells of an orphan, Pip, who through a series of strange circumstances first finds a trade as a blacksmith's apprentice and then learns that he has "great expectations" of a future inheritance from an anonymous benefactor. He soon learns to live the profligate life of a gentleman as he gradually sheds his associations with the gentle souls of his past, Joe (the blacksmith) and Biddy (a level-headed young lady). He throws his money at improving the prospects of his roommate and friend Herbert and his heart at an "ice princess" whose heart will never respond. But then an escaped convict from his distant past comes calling, and all Pip's hopes dissolve. (Summary by Mark F. Smith) (20 hr 26 min)

A Timeless Classic Brilliantly Read


(5 stars)

This is one of those literary classics we all should have read in high school - but didn’t. Enough said. This version is noteworthy by how well it is read. The text is clear and accurate but when the characters speak Smith gives unique voices to each. He’s really good. Its like being at a live performance. Highly recommend...

(5 stars)

from my first reading of this book when I was in school, throughout the years that have led to now, it has remained a firm favourite. A message of the substance of friendship and love over 'portable property.'

Very well read


(5 stars)

A very skilled reader makes this long classic flow by smoothly and enjoyably. I'd never read this one before, or much of Dickens, so, as such, had no "expectations", but was pleasantly surprised by his wit and beautiful prose without too much Victorian lugubriousness.

brilliant


(5 stars)

Mark Smith brings this classic of Dickens to life with an extraordinarily good read. I got a huge amount out of this book. So much of it is relevant to the 21st century. This is the best read book on librivox so far! thank you Mark

Great Expectations


(5 stars)

The book is the embodiment of brilliance and genious with the most prestine use of language and vocabulary and complex yet brilliant plot this book sure estabishes Charles Dickens as the master of literature and will surely live up to your Great Expectations.

Well-read version of this classic story!


(4.5 stars)

This is an excellent, well-read version of this classic story. Mark Smith does an excellent job of changing his voice to create various believable characters, both male and female, both young and old, both fancy and rough. Well done!

Mark Smith is one of the most talented book readers. His ability of reading so flawlessly, pausing at all the right places, and rendering every character with a unique voice had given me so much joy listening to this audio book. Thank you, Mr. Smith.
