I really enjoyed this story, Volume II was a slog to get through but Vol I and III were much more enjoyable.
Im excited to watch the films now, and to go back and reread some of the descriptive passages again at some point, and look more deeply into the references and motifs that thread through the story.

I definately think I am in possession of the world's prettiest Dickens book. So long ugly black, depressing looking Dickens!

Not one of Dickens’ best works, but I’m still content I read it. It had its moments when the protagonist’s arc progressed, but I found the unfurling of the plot meandering and rather self-indulgent.

oh man. this was such a tough read for me. at times i felt like 'great expectations' is one of the most relatable and brilliant pieces of writing, at other (sadly proportionally greater) times, this is probably one of the dullest books i've ever come across, one that i definitely wouldn't reread again.
A wonderfully captivating and touching story. There is a reason that 'Great Expectations' is a classic read. Highly recommend for anyone interested in Victorian literature OR trying to get up to speed on their 'must reads' list.
