Book Review: Great Expectations (Dickens)

Have I read this before: Yes! We read this in 8th grade.

Review: Okay, so I’m actually convinced now that we read an abridged version of some sort in 8th grade, because 1) I don’t remember this book being so long, and 2) I don’t remember half of the things that happened in it. I haven’t read any other Dickens to compare this book to, but I hope to read some more soon, as it did have a good deal of tension and build up in it (again, more than I remember from the 8th grade reading).

Favorite Part: Pip, Startop, and Herbert trying to row Magwitch to freedom. Tension!
