shronlee 's review for:

Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
4.5
adventurous challenging medium-paced
Loveable characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Favorite dickens book (so far)

So similar to david copperfield. Two competing love interests, coming of age story, lovable and faithful friend. Departs in some striking ways tho like how pip doesn't end up with biddy

Some scenes were so sweet and moving. Like comparing the toast bites or the aged parent! The characters are all so memorable, and the plot really good. I consumed the last part of the book like it was a thriller! Really good messaging too on the value of gentleman culture or rich society versus pure heart
