Industry Reviews
"When I was young I understood Pip and sympathized with him and felt what he felt in his various horrors and discovery of his paternity. As I got older I...was horrified by his shallowness. It's like watching 'The Graduate' when you were young - and then older and you understand why Mrs. Robinson doesn't want to talk with him in bed."
Mother Jones - Richard Russo

"In no other of his romances has the author succeeded so perfectly in at once stimulating and baffling the curiosity of his readers....Altogether we take great joy in recording our conviction that GREAT EXPECTATIONS is a masterpiece...., a work which proves that we may expect from Dickens a series of romances far exceeding in power and artistic skill the productions which have already given him such a preeminence among the novelists of the age."
Atlantic Monthly (09/01/1861)

      Overall theme and plot were great, but the longevity...

    The beginning was a little boring. The middle was fantastic, after sifting through all the pointless jargon, you get the sense of things, and it actually turns out to be a great book.

    Cons/Criticisms: The longevity of the book. It just keeps going on and on. Also, i am not to fond that it takes Dickens three pages to say just one thing (no offense). Sometimes its a minor thing, other times it's a major thing.
    However, you can't deny that this book does have meaning and does bring pleasure to you, and for that, i give it 4 stars (4.5 if i could be more exact).
