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.
