Great Expectations
4 Mar 2011
Format:Paperback
Bought this book to read to my 4 year old grandson. He loved it and remained interested the entire time!
Loved the story

I got this book for my grandson, but I read it many years ago and also saw the movie when I was around eleven years old. It had an emotional impact on me then, maybe partly because I liked the girl who was about my own age then.
Besides the quality of the writing and the interesting story, the book gives one some idea of a period of history.
I would give it five stars, but my grandson didn't seem to like it. I think one has to take much are in choosing books for kids, as some will dislike, and others will like, the same book for no apparent reason. It is just the personality of the kid. The applies even more so to toys.

Too good for words!
14 Jan 2001
Format:Paperback
This is the most acclaimed works of Dickens. `Great Expectations' is the biography of Philip Pirrip or Pip whose dream is to be a gentleman.Pip, the main character of the novel is an apprentice to Joe, his uncle and best friend. He is well contented till the time he gets the desire to be a gentleman. His chance comes when he is named as the beneficiary to some amount of fortune.
Dickens, in this book of his examines the human nature, how vulnerable we are to the call of money. The great author brings out how Pip makes fair-weather friends when he comes to fortune, how he forgets his roots and his good old true friend Joe. Besides that `Great Expectations' depicts also the love of Pip for a certain girl named Estella, for whose sake he wanted to be a gentleman.
If you've been asking yourself what is the meaning of true love, then read this fabulous book, it will help you to find the meaning of it to some extent. `Great Expectations' is one of those books that after reading you will feel the self-satisfaction still lingering in your heart for quite a long while.
