The only comments I’ve ever heard anyone make about this book refer to Miss Havisham, still wearing the wedding dress from the day she was jilted, and Estella. I got the impression this was a romance played out with overtones of class differences. Oh, it is, certainly, and the two women are central characters; but it’s so much more: a mystery, a rise-and-fall story, occasionally a comedy, and, in the last section, a thriller.

A funny, coming-of-age story about Pip, a poor boy from England.
I did feel it was too drawn-out at some points; the first and last sections of the novel's three parts are well-paced, but the middle goes on for too long, and could have used some trimming.
Overall, I think if you are a classics fan, this is a great book to read.
