Great Expectations

By: Charles Dickens

Narrated by: Tadhg Hynes

Great Expectations is arguably Dickens' finest work. Chapter one opens up in a lonely graveyard on the marshes in southern England where we first meet young Pip and witness a terrifying meeting with an escaped convict. The novel charts the life of Pip from boy to young man during which Dickens treats us to array of unforgettable characters from the lovable Joe and the servile Pumblechuck to the jilted Miss Havisham and the faithful Herbert Pocket.

Best narration I have encountered

I enjoyed this enormously. I have always loved Dickens but the narration took it to another level. When I finished the book I immediately searched for other books narrated by Tadhd Hynes

Superb Reader Breathes True Life Into A Classic

This Dubliner's Irish lilt breathes new life into the many voices inside this Dickens masterpiece. What had been for me a well-told tale in black and white was instantly colorized, if you get my meaning, by Hynes, so that one dimensional figures became full, rich individuals with all their quirks and foibles and strengths. Come on, Audible, get his other Dickens books into the fold.
