Just got introduced to this book by one quote “ i loved her against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be” and i needed more.
i read an abridged version of this in elementary school, quickly became one of my favorite pieces of literature! i’ve read several abridged versions but now i’m finally gonna go with the full version. this is gonna be my sleep video for a bit. thank you :)
So startled to read these comments. I read this book by choice, many years ago, loved it, and followed by reading all of Dickens. I'm now listening to it because it's a beloved book that I haven't read for a long time. You people not reading it because it was assigned? Try it! It's awesome.
I agree. I o oy stopped reading for attention troubles and being too busy. Now I came across this and it's great. Many people would rather play an app than read sadly. I have not seen someone read a book or ebook for months on my train.
Really? I wish i liked it but i think its really boring anyways gotta read it cuz i dont wanna fail english Also i do like reading just not this cuz the wierd language
Beautifully narrated, thank you. I tried to read this book when I was young and couldn't get on with it. Decided to have another go but have found i was right all those years ago; Great Expectations is boring AF. I pity all you who have to write a paper in it🙄
I can't even understand any of this, but I have to listen to it as I have to read this book and write a book report ,as it is my holiday homework.😭😭😭😭😭😭 Why, why😭😭😭😭
If you want to learn? This is how I taught my self. I took a book with big words and looked them up in a dictionary every time I came across one I didn't know. I read and reread every word and paragraph until I comprehended it. First book took me about two weeks reading 12 hours a day. I was at a collage reading level in six months. Where there's a will there is a way. I'm also dyslexic. I'm listening to this cause I want to here the story and I don't have a copy. Keep trying. You can do it!
@@sirhenrybaskerville6770 It was a long long time ago I read the story. What I remember is a spirit hound that glowed at night and in the mist of the marshes. I m not sure but I think I remember it being a great Dane breed. That's all I remember. I read it over 27 years ago.
Just thought I would say Mr Peter Keeble, this is an excellent reading of the Dickens classic :) Really enjoying it, its a toss up for me between this and Bleak House in the number one spot for Dickens best work! I particularly like your Mr Pumblechook...that tone is exactly what I would have envisaged for the character...and as he's so comparatively minor he rarely gets a look in, in most adaptations, but of course in his engineering of a place for Pip at Ms Haversham's he is vital to the plot of the story and Pip heaps such vitriol on him (deservedly) I always felt it a shame that I have seen so few adaptations where we get to hear Pips scorn of the pompous old poser! Your Ms Haversham is also pretty good too! Anyway, keep up the good work and thank you
Nick Mamo If you can recognise the word 'seem' is spelt with an 'm' and not an 'n' as you spealt it in 'seen instead of 'seem'. Then you likely have not dyslexia as dyslexia is about not having the ability to recognize simple spelling mistakes.
currently on chapter 4, will update this comment! btw, watch on 1.25 speed or even 1.5 for a fast listening that still makes sense! Update: on chapter 5 Update: 2:32:04 Update: 4:08:49, story was a bit confusing because I think I put the time wrong and accidentally skipped something :( Update: 5:43:47, I think I caught up! :) Update: Chapter 22! Almost done with part 1! Update: 6:43:16! Woo! Update: 7:07:32 didn’t listen much today Update: Chapter 30! Almost done with part one, 18 more minutes, I’m guessing one more chapter? Anyways, I’ve kind of been multitasking while listening so... oops I guess? I guess I understand the basics and the setting of this story so that’s good enough. Plus, I’m not reading this for school so it’s all good. I think. Aah. :0 Update again: 2 more minutes! I’m kind of just writing this while listening so that’s why it’s so long. END OF CHAPTER 30- ok I think part 1 is over, catch my comment in part 2! have a good day everyone!
People here speeding up the audio but im slowing it down because im also reading the book out loud to memorise it and im dysslexic and a slow reader 😭 its the hard knock life
Lovely reading of this. Not a fan of Libre Vox recordings but this is very good. I recently visited St James Churchyard at Cooling in Kent,. So it’s really nice to hear the unabridged first chapters detailing the lonely gloom of the north Kent marshes! Well done!
@@matthewjenkins8013 I love being able to read and listen at the same time. My eyes don't have to work quite so hard but i can see the words that might not be entirely intelligible to my aging ears. For example when they were in the park and Pip wondered who had shot all those horses. And then he said he wished Joe could have done it. And I'm thinking "WHAT?!!! Why would he want Joe to shoot horses?" And then I thought, "Oh yeah. Joe is a blacksmith. He shoes horses. He would have SHOD the horses." It would have been much more efficient if I could could just have seen the word from the start.
Chapter I * My father's family name being Pirrip, and my Christian name Philip, my infant tongue could make of both names nothing longer or more explicit than Pip. So, I called myself Pip, and came to be called Pip. I give Pirrip as my father's family name, on the authority of his tombstone and my sister,-Mrs. Joe Gargery, who married the blacksmith. As I never saw my father or my mother, and never saw any likeness of either of them (for their days were long before the days of photographs), my first fancies regarding what they were like were unreasonably derived from their tombstones. The shape of the letters on my father's, gave me an odd idea that he was a square, stout, dark man, with curly black hair. From the character and turn of the inscription, "Also Georgiana Wife of the Above," I drew a childish conclusion that my mother was freckled and sickly. To five little stone lozenges, each about a foot and a half long, which were arranged in a neat row beside their grave, and were sacred to the memory of five little brothers of mine,-who gave up trying to get a living, exceedingly early in that universal struggle,-I am indebted for a belief I religiously entertained that they had all been born on their backs with their hands in their trousers-pockets, and had never taken them out in this state of existence. Ours was the marsh country, down by the river, within, as the river wound, twenty miles of the sea. My first most vivid and broad impression of the identity of things seems to me to have been gained on a memorable raw afternoon towards evening. At such a time I found out for certain that this bleak place overgrown with nettles was the churchyard; and that Philip Pirrip, late of this parish, and also Georgiana wife of the above, were dead and buried; and that Alexander, Bartholomew, Abraham, Tobias, and Roger, infant children of the aforesaid, were also dead and buried; and that the dark flat wilderness beyond the churchyard, intersected with dikes and mounds and gates, with scattered cattle feeding on it, was the marshes; and that the low leaden line beyond was the river; and that the distant savagelair from which the wind was rushing was the sea; and that the small bundle of shivers growing afraid of it all and beginning to cry, was Pip. "Hold your noise!" cried a terrible voice, as a man started up from among the graves at the side of the church porch. "Keep still, you little devil, or I'll cut your throat!" A fearful man, all in coarse gray, with a great iron on his leg. A man with no hat, and with broken shoes, and with an old rag tied round his head.
Reason I’m here- In English I have a TEST TOMORROW on the first 20 chapters of GE. And it gets better, I didn’t read any of it yet, cause well it’s rly BORING. So now I’m struggling the night before to at least get some information on the book. RIP ME AND MY GRADE
I suspect the forge must be around the middle of st Mary’s marshes , now st Mary’s Island.its exactly 4 miles from Rochester high street and would have been fairly close to the prison hulks next to Chatham dockyard.and also where they filmed parts of the 1946 John mills classic
My favorite part is the narrator saying this is in the public domain with a real rough voice like he is mad

I’m reading this before the semester starts aye aye

Lol you caught me on that one.
Thats me rn still deciding if i should just find a summary in schmoop
Who told you that?
By Tommorow night I have to read half the book. I haven’t started
Just got introduced to this book by one quote “ i loved her against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be” and i needed more.
Yayyyy...... 6 hours of this so I won’t fail my test
Considering the only other option is a bloke with a south carolina accent, thank you so much
Charles Dickens is one of the most eloquent writers of all time. He's so descriptive.
too descriptive

You are so right! This was one of the last Dickens books I read , and perhaps my favorite!

Really? I wish i liked it but i think its really boring anyways gotta read it cuz i dont wanna fail english
Also i do like reading just not this cuz the wierd language

Check out a christmas carol, the audiobook is pretty good
Yea same here
Once you love one Dickens novel, you will probably love them all. I recommend David Copperfield, which is my favorite. Check out Bleak House too.
imagine hahah
You do you boo 🩷

i'm 23 and this is my 2nd reading of great expectations, first read the book in 2011. think i'm enjoying it more now i'm an adult.
Grow up

In what ways?
Read it again when you're 70. It's even better.
Almost blind so I'm loving these

And an excellent reading! Thank you!
