I’m already into this book a bit, but I’ve slacked off. So I’m putting it on my list here—I want to read the whole thing.

Great Book! 19 months ago

This book was great! I had to read another Dickens when I read the Tale of Two Cities. I was not disapointed. :)

Finished 2 years ago

After weeks of dragging my heels just sped through from the middle to the end today. So worth it. I was crying at the end. now understand why this is a classic.



PMA...I 'greatly expect' to finish this book 2 years ago

I will finish this book..dammit



For some crazy reason I thought I was alone. 3 years ago

Great Expectations about Great Expectations. This is a worthwile goal. When you finish this book you will want to read another classic. Iguarentee it.



Why is this a classic 3 years ago

I loved ‘A Tale of Two Cities’ – one of my fave books of all time. So I thought I’d read another Dickens book – and it was such a trial to get through the whole thing. It was one of his last novels so I think that the only reason why it’s a classic because he had already established his reputation as a great novelist beforehand and this book was written quite differently from his earlier works.

There was not a single character there that I liked or even sympathised with. Pip was a sissy, and I didn’t understand his infatuation with that spoiled brat of a girl. I could go on about how I didn’t enjoy it.. but think I’ll leave off and just forget that I read this book.



Great book 3 years ago

I read this last year. Great read. Made me appreciate Dickens more. Just finished watching Bleak House on PBS—that was great as well.



Next on my list 4 years ago

It’s part of a collection of “classics” that my sister bought for me. It’s sitting next to my bed, but I haven’t cracked it open yet.



it will be done...eventually 4 years ago

i always get stuck at the part when pip meets that old lady and then he gets sold or something and then there’s that girl he’s in love with (?). i dunno. its such a long book and if i dont read things fast i tend to forget thing that are happening.
