Great Expectations

Great Expectations was a pretty good book. Reading it, I felt smart and sophisticated due to the language in it: Olden days. It is a little complicated to read but I liked the story line, even though it was slow moving at some parts. I would recommend it to anyone that is mature, and can read fast. This book is really boring if you read it a few pages at a time. If you read it in bigger chunks, it helps to make the book more interesting.
The beginning of the book is my favorite. Talk about attention grabbing! Pip is in a churchyard, when he is approached by a convict. The convict threatens him, and eventually gets Pip to give him food. Later on, Pip goes and lives with an old lady who has broken dreams; Miss Havisham. Miss Havisham has an adopted daughter named Estella, Pip ends up falling in love with her. As he grows older, he wants to become a gentleman. Sadly, Estella is getting married. He gets a benefactor; who ends up being the convict. The convict shows up to his apartment, which is rather frightening to Pip. There are many twists and turns in this part of the book; with lots of twists and suprising connections. The convict soon dies in result of broken ribs; and Pip's inheritance is taken away. He goes to jail; and his brother in law comes and gets him, taking him back.
