Great Expectations


Leído por Mark F. Smith

(4.7 estrellas; 1812 reseñas)

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 estrellas)

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...

It was my first audio book and I had an enriched experience. Sound quality was superb and the emotions were eloquently expressed in various tones. Mr. Mark Smith, thanks a lot for your efforts. A lot of love and well wishes from Pakistan.

A fantastic reading of a epic tale


(4 estrellas)

A truly fantastic narration that gives each character a distinct voice without being over the top, the original story is enhanced and given new meaning by the narrator. There were though sometimes where I was lost in the story due to it being quite old and some of the languages and references being a little beyond me but the story of the ride and fall of Pips fortunes was a very good one.

Brilliant book, painful reading


(4 estrellas)

Listening to this American reader attempting the various English accents is excruciatingly cringeworthy and painful. It's hard to listen with enjoyment, even though this is possibly Dickens's best work. The ringing, hollow noise in the background of the reading is dreadfully distracting. It sounds as though the reading is being carried out inside a submarine!

Very well read


(5 estrellas)

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

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

Well-read version of this classic story!


(4.5 estrellas)

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!

fantastic

At first, it took me a while to get used to the way he did character voices, but after the first couple chapters it was like i was listening to a play with different actors all expressing different personalities. Great reading.
