I've never read Dickens before this, but GREAT EXPECTATIONS was a perfect introduction. Eccentric, exaggerated characters, whirling plots, and pure heartbreak--this is a roller coaster you want to get on.

I was certain that I had read this book the summer before freshman year of high school but I did not remember anything once Pip traveled to London. I actually ended up finding some of the characters, situations and language hilarious, which I did not expect. The ending was semi-predictable but overall, enjoyable.
