My only other Dicken's experience was Tale of Two Cities, which I hated. Great Expectations is written by an entirely different author. The prose has much more subtle (and not subtle!) humor, the characters are more likeable and memorable. Overall, although it is still a book that you need to be very awake to read (and it still will take quite some time to read), I highly recommend. It makes me interested to tackle the very long Bleak House.

Better than expected but a bit heavy on coincidence and two-dimensional characters for me. Pip's a bit of a knob too, isn't he?

The ending fell flat, but otherwise a brilliant, engaging novel.
