Great Expectations (Enriched Classics)
I can't give this book enough praise. I read David Copperfield after, which was supposedly Dickens' most belove character, but I enjoyed GE much more. You won't be disappointed.
Great Expectations (Enriched Classics)
This is Charles Dickens' version of the poor kid fantasy. This is almost a fable, I would say. This is the kind of story that you hear over and over growing up in poverty. It is almost in the category of Robin Hood, but this is the real thing in the flesh and blood. The old man in the cemetery scene still plays over and over in my mind. I should have read everything written by Charles Dickens by now, but yet I haven't. I started A Tale of Two Cities a little while ago and I have it on my night stand. I think that I'll get back to it tonight. I don't know who beats Dickens in superb phrasing and style. He is the Master.Richard Edward Noble - The Hobo Philosopher - Author of:"Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother"
Great Expectations (Enriched Classics)
This book was not as interesting as some other books that I have read. Some of the chapters were confusing and is in need of some clarification. But then again, there are many unseen connections that are made. But overall, it was interesting and much like a soap opera with some dull moments.

Great Expectations is the most amazing book I have ever read. Charles Dickens' eloquent language enthrawls you and keeps you reading on. I have seen how some people find this hard to get through; I was 12 when I read it and I understood it perfectly and loved it. Others think it is too long - this just gives you more to enjoy. I also had to read it because I was told to (for school) and I just read with enjoyment without focusing on every little detail like others have (which in my view is the reason for their disliking.) This book is a classic which must be read. Words cannot describe the quality of the book. Take my advice - purchase a copy and READ IT!
Great Expectations (Enriched Classics)
This book at the beginning seemed to me a little boring but as i read on it got really interesting. So much irony and so many twists is what really kept me on the edge of my seat. This is one of those books that you look forward to the end but when it comes you sit back and wish there was more. It really makes you think about yourself, society, and the world. I HIGHLY recommend this book.

There really aren't words for this book. The characters were as lifelike as possible, the plot was intreeging, and the writing was supperb. I am only 12, but I found this book to be one of the best I have ever read.
