Great Expectations follows the life of Pip in his journey through life. Pip articulates great desire to obtain riches. The book narrates his attaining and handling of these riches.

This would probably have to be the best book I have read up until this point in my life.

Dickens manages to cram a lot of meaning into this book. He is also able to articulate many of the emotions, thoughts, doubts and insecurities we as humans face.

The book, to this day has added value in that it shows us that what is going through our minds today, is exactly what was going through the minds of people hundreds of years ago.

There is not one useless page or incident in the book. While it may not be apparent at the beginning, every scene has a meaning or a connection to a different scene.

Dickens is able to evoke sympathy for our often lovable and sometimes pathetic characters. For this reason and the reasons I have mentioned above, I give this book a score of 10 out of 10.
