Great Expectations

Rating: It was amazing!

For someone who isn't really a big fan of classics, I actually enjoyed this book! Dating back to the Victorian era of London,Great Expectations is the narrative of a young boy as he grows into manhood. This boy, Pip, is a young blacksmith who dreams of becoming a gentleman in order to be worthy enough for his one and only love, Estella. Pip inherits a sum of money and great expectations. Charles Dickens intricately weaves romance and mystery and self-reflection in one outstanding novel. Though in this modern time, the victorian english is difficult to comprehend, that in itself was another puzzle and mystery!

Dating back to the Victorian era, a young boy named Pip grows into a gentleman. Great Expectations is the narrative of this boy as he has great expectations.
