Great Expectations


The well known book by dickens made a lasting impression even if it was using archaic language that is very confusing. not only is the language confusing but the story line that gets lost with all the other characters storys coming out in the most random places.But i feel that the book is the type that makes you want to read on even though it took me a while to really get my head around everything. i would highly recomend this book if your into your heart throbbing story lines where you can really feel their emotions through the description of characters.

The story is very twisted in many sences from the fact that you can never tell where it is going and the most unexpected things occur. Pip who is not a fortunate boy to have the best upbringing gets everything and more after running into and helping a convict who you would never of thought played such a big part in his life. From the moment he met estella he was captured by her beauty but her personality was so off putting and the heart break begun. From the moment he was invited over to mrs Havishams to play so out of the blue that it was not just a nice guesture but a trap which he had so easily fallen into. soon into the story you find out why she had it in for pip or you could say for any man as it was her who turned estella stone cold inside. her destroyed marraige left no mercy for men to play and good part in her or her adopted daughters life.

what i really like about this story is that it is so out of the blue and the thing that happen are so unexpected but everything linked and happend as a result of something else so it wasnt hard to figure out but tested your ability enough. What i didnt like was how long it took to get interesting and it makes you feel like giving up on the book.

overall i would say definetly a book to be read and not given up on as it is such a good book and a classic that you do not want to miss.
