This is a LibriVox recording of Great Expectations, read by Mark F. Smith.

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)

Subject: Made picturing the story at lot easier than reading
Like most American Teenagers, I can't stand reading a novel for more than 5 minutes without dieing of boredom. However with this recording I found it much easier to understand the story and simply enjoyed it much more than if I had to read it!
P.S. Got an A on my book report :D

Subject: "Great Expectations" even after 30 years
This was my favorite novel in High School, and I haven't read (or listened) to it since. I had great expectations as I started the first chapter, and the reader, Mark F. Smith, certainly didn't disappoint. He uses a very slight accent on his words so that the listener can understand without difficulty. His voice inflections made the characters come to life in my mind.
I'm just glad there wasn't a quiz after each chapter!

Subject: Good book, good recording
The reader gives each character a very distinct, rather exaggerated voice/mannerisms, which might turn off some listeners but which struck me as entirely in keeping with Dickens's broad, funny characterizations. Very good recording quality, mostly very good sound quality.
