A terrifying encounter with an escaped convict in a graveyard on the wild Kent marshes; a summons to meet the bitter, decaying Miss Havisham and her beautiful, cold-hearted ward Estella; the sudden generosity of a mysterious benefactor - these form a series of events that change the orphaned Pip's life forever, and he eagerly abandons his humble origins to begin a new life as a gentleman. Dickens' novel depicts Pip's development through adversity as he discovers the true nature of his 'great expectations'.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

His portrayal of each character. His chosen voice matches their character precisely!

Constancy in the end. While many of Pip's earlier decisions were vain and foolish, his true character shines through at the end.

It was a time of legend, as the last shadows of the mighty Roman conqueror faded from the captured Isle of Britain. Meanwhile, across a vast sea, bloody war shattered a peace that had flourished for 2,000 years in the doomed kingdom of Atlantis. This is the remarkable adventure of Charis, the courageous princess from Atlantis who escapes the terrible devastation of her land, and of the fabled seer and druid prince Taliesin, singer at the dawn of the age. It is a story of an incomparable love that joins two astonishing worlds....

Wonderful story! Excellent narrator!
Revisado: 03-16-13
What made the experience of listening to Taliesin the most enjoyable?
Lawhead's spins a great story. You can truly imagine imagine the settings in your minds eye with his rich prose. He develops each character well. I found myself looking forward to my long walks just to be able to listen to the story unwind.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Charis. At times tough as iron, at times soft and sensitive. Nadia May's voice was perfect for her character.
What does Wanda McCaddon bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Narrated by Nadia May, not Wanda McCaddon. Nadia was perfect for this story. Her accents for each character were perfect. Amazaing how she was able to keep the voice for each character throughout the whole story.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
The ending was tragic. But it set up the next book in the series well.
Any additional comments?
I heartily recommend this audible book. Listen. You won't be disappointed.

John Cleese's reading of this classic is in itself a classic! He makes Screwtape come alive! Brilliant! One of the most enjoyable Audible listens I've had.
