    Great Book!  — 4 months ago

    Worth doing!

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

    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.

    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  — 2 years ago

    Not worth it!

    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.

    Worth doing!

    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  — 2 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  — 3 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.
