Great Expectations

By Charles Dickens


Great Expectations is a tale of a boy named Phillp, but mostly called Pip, whose parents died when he was only seven years old. Now young Pip works as a blacksmith, and lives with his sister and his brother-in-law Joe. Then, Pip comes across an escaped convict, who threatens him unless he gives him food and a file. Pip is invited to Miss Havisham's estate, and falls in love with a young lady by the name of Estella. I think this is wonderful work of literature due to its plot twists and the way it shows how a brave fool fares after becoming careless with his riches.

This book is an original concept which I admire.  This book is orignal, instead of a repetitive sequel or a common topic, such as vampires or a big adventure across the land with some mythological creatures on a grand quest or adventure. The only problem with this book is that it goes too fast. I like the well-developed personalities of the characters aswell. I highly recommend this book to whoever enjoys classics, dislikes repetitiveness, and likes love and betrayal.
