    About this ebook

    Pip is an orphan in a dangerous world. While visiting his parents’ and brothers’ graves, he is grabbed by an escaped convict, Abel Magwitch, who terrorizes him into stealing food, and a file to cut shackles. At home, Pip’s sister beats and scolds him frequently. Only her husband Joe Gargery, a blacksmith, loves and protects him. Pip’s one ambition is to become Joe’s apprentice. That is about to change.

         Miss Havisham, a wealthy recluse, summons Pip to her bizarre and decaying manor to play with her beautiful ward, Estella. Though, to Miss Havisham’s delight, Estella insults him repeatedly for his coarseness, Pip falls in love with the girl. He resolves to educate and improve himself, even though he believes that he will never have the wealth or manners to win Estella’s heart. That, too, will change.

         A lawyer seeks out Pip and Joe with news that an anonymous benefactor plans to bequeath Pip a great fortune. Pip is to proceed to London, to be educated in the language, manners, and style of a gentleman. An excited Pip climbs aboard the London coach unaware of two things: This new world may be even more dangerous than the old, and he hasn’t seen the last of Abel Magwitch.

         Narrated by an older, wiser Pip, who is tougher on himself than on his antagonists, Great Expectations takes a hard look at English society during the Industrial Revolution and the true cost of upward mobility.

    Charles Dickens

    Charles Dickens was born in 1812 and grew up in poverty. This experience influenced ‘Oliver Twist’, the second of his fourteen major novels, which first appeared in 1837. When he died in 1870, he was buried in Poets’ Corner in Westminster Abbey as an indication of his huge popularity as a novelist, which endures to this day.

      It was okay. I think its themes are meant more for a YA audience.
    • 1/5
      I did not finish reading this book. It just felt like an eternity every so often. And while I sometimes caught a sliver of enjoyable writing, the premise had never hooked me enough to now keep going. I think I've had enough at least for now.
    • 5/5
      I took a buzz-feed quiz on which classic novel I should read and got this. 1) The cover is beautiful. 2) I thought Miss Havisham was a ghost the entire story. I loved Estella the most as a character. She proves that every individual has the ability to love; despite their background. One of my favorites.
    • 3/5
      Better toward the end than at the beginning. Listening to it through tedium was better than trying to read it for myself.
    • 2/5
      I remember my mother expressing surprise that Dickens wasn't read in any of my college English classes. I can't think of a single graduate student in or around my cohort who worked on him either, yet I knew he was one of my grandfather's favorites and that Dickens was very popular in his day. In sum, I think this is a fairytale style of prose that's gone out of fashion (and for good reason). Everyone in the novel is an exaggerated caricature. It makes for very predictable dialogue and a static, boring plotline. There's an interesting central idea: Does the source of wealth matter and does money change a person? The examination of this question is fairly surface level for a work of nearly five-hundred pages. I'm content to have had the experience of reading one of his more famous novels, but I would only recommend Dickens to someone interested in that particular time/place in the history of England and English Literature.
    • 4/5
      It took longer to get invested in than some of Dickens's other works, but by the end I did care what happened to the various characters.
    • 3/5
      A sensible chuckle. I was surprised to see how little humour has changed and how old the "old jokes" really are. Poor Pip, forever blueballed.
    • 3/5
      Recognisably Dickensian in all the ways I remembered, perhaps 30 years after my first Dickens novels. I was not bowled over the way I was in freshman seminar, but well-enough pleased and the specific title was decided by R's school assignment so I'm content with that, too. Great Expectations points up Dickens's clear-eyed insight into the hearts of neglected if not destroyed children. I broadly recall a similar outlook in other novels, and it may not even be particularly manifest here. That deep psychology into other people (people different than me, and yet recognisable) registered then and now as a key characteristic of the modern novel.No doubt influenced by my reading in noir, I found in the central plot a mystery without a sleuth; Dickens's own asides the same role as the shamus's distracting tough talk in Chandler, Hammett, Macdonald.The fact that every character is in the end found to be connected to all others (Six Degrees of Pip Pirrip), amused me and more or less was expected, but R found it almost infuriating. Great Expectations has a clearer message than I recall from Bleak House or Little Dorrit, as though Dickens imagined characters and situations as a means to assess the myriad ways Pip might delude himself: class or caste, public acceptance or accolade, wealth or comfort -- all manner of outer appearance, in other words, in contrast with inner meaning. The sheer variety of it all, and the cast of characters with their idiosyncracies, kept it interesting.Uncertain whether I will next re-read one of the three novels from that freshman seminar, or pick another novel. My initial impression 30 years ago stands, Dickens is worth reading.//Favourite characters: Wemmick, Herbert Pocket, Havisham, Jaggers -- and Satis House. (I wonder if Peake thought of it when writing Gormenghast.)
    • 1/5
      Not my cup of tea.
    • 5/5
      One of the best novels ever written.
    • 5/5
      Required reading for being a human. Also it's epic.
    • 5/5
      Although lengthy, this book was hard to put down. Amazing characters all with unique personality and plot twists I didn't see coming. This book had a lot of humor in it surprisingly! And it had me laughing for 5 minutes straight. Pip living through hardship and experiencing family deaths at such a young age is bound to get someone down. But it never did get him down. He was a hard worker and always polite to his surroundings. Although he despised Mr. Pumblechook's claims of raising Pip up to the man he is today, he never snapped or said wrong things to him. His sister did more works in his life than he ever thought she did, she taught him well and he starts to realize it towards the end. (God rest Mrs. Joe Gargery's soul.) The ending is bittersweet yet happy. Turning over a new leaf at the end. I loved this book more than I thought I would and I'm happy I experienced it after years of it sitting on my shelf. (also my favorite character was Herbert, he's such a nice boy.)
    • 4/5
      Bit slow in parts. Since it was originally published in installments it has peaks and valleys. It pay better to have the story be longer. The ending is fitting
    • 3/5
      Charles Dickens' classic of unrequited love, and failures of communication. Pip grows up without an understanding of where his situation in Victorian england comes from, and later suffers in his quest for understanding who he really is. A tearjerker by modrn standards, and certainly lacks the fairy tale ending that dickens must have tired of by 1861.
    • 5/5
      Second time reading this - the first was in high school. First published as a serial in a magazine, I can see how it would have been very popular. It has a little bit of everything in it - adventure, crime, coming-of-age, love gothic and humor!
    • 5/5
      Great book. "You are part of my existence, part of myself. You have been in every line I have ever read, since I first came here, the rough common boy whose..." Perfect. I think I've read it four times, but I'm sure I'll read it again.
    • 1/5
      This could be listed with the subtitle of "The Misadventures of Pip." It's interesting, though not something that caught me to focus on it.If I'm understanding this correctly, Joe was abused by an alcoholic father and as such married an abusive woman to take the place of the abusive father. This is not openly displayed in the text, per se, but it is discussed by the narrator on a few occasions. This felt like a book written and published in stages, so the various parts feel a little stilted when pushed together. Though to bring the file up again did connect them some. Also the whole deal with the dying of Ms. Havernsham is kinda creepy.Something I did have to keep correcting myself in my mind was that the use of certain words has changed mightily since this was written. When someone asks is he an intimate, this isn't referring to a date, but to a close friend, for instance.I noted that unless he's given them no first name, Dickens has a habit of referring to characters by their title and first name. Mr. and Mrs. Joe. Mr. and Ms. Cecelia. It's a touch unnerving.I've gotten just about past the half way point. My loan expires tomorrow. I'm not looking to renew. The story isn't real compelling to me, and the "Great Expectations" are two fold: what Pip expects of himself and what others expect of Pip. This is definitely a long winded fictional biography. I'm not into biographies most times. Might be why this isn't my type of book.
    • 4/5
      I'm quite impressed with this book, read for a F2F book group. By this point in Dickens' writing career, he is less intrigued with cartoonish, humorous caricatures of people and more involved in the depth of their personalities. Joe, the simple but loving blacksmith who is unhappily married to Pip's sister, Estelle, and Miss Havisham have all finally received reasons and intrigue and a backstory to explain themselves.The basic story is a tale of an orphaned boy who lives with his b*tch of a sister and her husband near the marshes of Kent. He stumbles upon an escaped fugitive one night who terrifies him and colors his childhood for many years. Time passes, schooling might start (or not), and Pip meets the odd Miss Havisham who lives on abandoned home and brewery with her ward, Estelle. Pip spends almost as much time there as at school, and events at home include his sister and her alliance with narrow-minded townsfolk.As Pip grows older, his heart remains compassionate towards Joe, towards Estelle, and towards the strange Herbert, despite Pip's abuse at his sister's hands. She is beaten during a robbery and left without an ability to speak, while Pip is sent off to London to claim his inheritance. What gives this book its depth is that Pip has "great expectations" about where his new-found fortune originates, how much more richly he can live, and yet nothing becomes as it seems. Herbert and he become fast friends; Herbert knows the backstory for Miss Havisham; Pip's personal lawyer, Mr. Wemmick is a different person at home and at the office; and finally Pip's personal benefactor becomes a central character.Definitely one of Dickens' best writings, and worth the time put into it.
    • 5/5
      Speechless...!
    • 4/5
      A poor boy is promised to inherit a fortune.4/4 (Great).Pip is usually unsympathetic, but there are enough lovable secondary characters, and enough twists and suspense, to keep the book enjoyable, and to make a lasting impression.
    • 5/5
      What on earth can you say? Pip!
    • 4/5
      This is classic Dickens. I know he uses a lot of words, but he tells tales of the human condition with such humor and compassion. My favorite characters were Joe Gargery and Wemmick. Wemmick was particularly endearing with his "aged P" and his life away from work. So glad I persevered and finished it.
    • 5/5
      This is another one of my favorites of Dickens'! I have no clue when I read this one but the whole story of Pip really touched me. There were moments I thought he was a fool, but the vast majority of the time I really empathized with him. It's another classic example of Dickens' atmospheric style and wit coming together for an altogether great novel.
    • 5/5
      Who can resist Pip and Miss Haversham and Joe and Estella and the motley crew of characters that make up this extraordinary novel.
    • 4/5
      As I slowly work my way through Charles Dickens for the second time in my life (I was 13 when I worked my way through the first time) I am impressed at how well I still like the books. This one isn't my favorite. It is slow at times. This was the only flaw for me. Dickens captures me. There is something about his writing that transports me to a gray and sooty London. I am not sure which one I read next but this book has done nothing to slow down my desire to reread them all.

    • 4/5
      Dickens' descriptions of locations, people and their characters (or lack of it) create a mellow reading experience.They make the plot, at times revolving around Bonkers Chicken predictable twists with a few delightful surprises, more memorable and enduring.His description of Pip's early encounters with the alphabet and numbers is a treasure:"...I struggled through the alphabet as if it had been a bramble-bush...""After that I fell among those thieves, the nine figures, who seemed every evening to do something new to disguise themselves and baffle recognition."Though not as compelling as A TALE OF TWO CITIES, Great Expectations offers fewerannoying personages than his other books and Joe, Wemmick, Herbert, and the Aged givereaders people to care about. Pip and his convict are more of a challenge.
    • 2/5
      I have liked all of the other books by Charles Dickens that I've read, but boy, I found "Great Expectations" extremely dull. This is the first time I found his work so wordy that it seemed like he was stretching things out to make his serial money add up or something.It's funny because a lot happens in this book, but it felt like the plot just wasn't moving -- perhaps I didn't like Pip, who rises to great fortune and then suffers the obvious fall, as the sole narrator. Glad to be done with this one (finally.)
    • 4/5
      I've discovered that listening to Dickens in the car is actually a reasonable way to get through a big old book. Maybe something about listening to it in chunks reflects the original publication in episodes. This has the usual cast of thousands (I may exaggerate, but not by much!) and they are a varied lot. Pip is the hub of the story and it starts with his meeting Magwich in the churchyard as a young boy. He helps the convict with food, but then gets involved in the chase to catch him again. It's an important meeting that has echoes through the rest of Pip's young life. In an unconnected event, Pip gets invited to Miss Haversham's and meets Estella. This is a very odd setup (understatement). In the short term it gives Pip some heartache and ideas above his station. This, again, has repercussions through the story and is a source of some considerable upheaval. Pip becomes Joe's apprentice, but his ideas of being a gentleman and winning Estella blind him to both Joe's goodness and the charms and affection of Biddy. He, in fact, turns into a snob and acts quite badly in this phase. Then comes the big turning point, Pip comes into his Great Expectations. The assumption is that the expectations are from Miss Haversham, certainly that's what everyone seems to think. And Pip becomes even worse. He goes to town and sets up an expensive establishment with Herbert, who is a Haversham relation of some description. They live a bit too high and end up in debt quite a lot. Pip neglects Joe in this period and gets a nice superiority complex going. Then the crisis comes, when Pip discovers who his benefactor is and it's not who you thought. That sets Pip & Herbert off on a bit of a madcap trip, in which they try and get a convict out of the country without being caught. Herbert turns up trumps in this phase, having seemed a bit weak and easily lead until this point. It doesn't turn out well, and Pip looses everything. It is at this point that Joe, once more, does the decent thing and turns up to sort Pip out once more. Not that he deserves it. And he then misses his chance to actually be nice to Joe for once and acknowledge what he owes to him. The ending comes upon you quite abruptly, and is slightly disatisfying. I know it was originally set that pip returned, found Estella, but that she had remarried. In this version, she is not yet married and there is a possibility that they will finally get together. Only I'm not entirely sure that is a good idea. Thy have both changed, with Estella having come down off her high horse and Pip having learnt stability and hard work since they were children. I'm just not convinced the possibly happy ending is justified. I felt, as I often do with Dickens, that he spends 2/3 of the book setting it up and then crams the final third with all the story. It works though, and the pace sits will with the episodic listening.
    • 4/5
      I am giving this audiobook edition 4* but downgrading my rating for the book itself to 3 ½ stars. I found Pip's devotion to Estella romantic but unconvincing and Pip himself I don't care for very much. This is my third or fourth time reading this novel and I keep hoping that I will discover why so many people think it is Dickens greatest. I like David Copperfield so much that I guess I just wish to feel the same fondness for this... Oh well.
    • 4/5
      This is classic Dickens. Young Pip, living with his shrewish sister and her dull, but kindly husband falls comes upon Miss Havisham who, upon being jilted years ago has entombed herself in her huge house with the beautiful Estella with whom Pip immediately falls in love,.Miss Havisham tells Pip that he has "Great Expectations" and throughout the book he rises and then falls in business until he finds contentment back where he started from - a sadder but wiser man. If you've never read this doorstop of a book, it's worth your while for a vivid picture on Victorian England and the vivid characters who inhabit it.
