Did you like this book?
My class had to read it for school but we read the really abridged play verison that left out a lot. But I didn't like the ending!
Great Expections
Charles Dickens
I had to read it for two different classes and I enjoyed it very much! I was surprised how much I liked it. You might want to spend some time to read the full book! Dickens actually wrote two endings because people didn't like the sadness of the first one, so maybe the play version used the original ending. Or maybe even the revised one isn't what you had hoped for - I don't know!
I had to read it for Literary London (a January-term trip my school does), and I liked it. I'd always been curious about it, actually, since I transferred in to high school after my class had already read it...and now I have! I did like it; however, perhaps because I procrastinated and had to read half the book in a day, Dickens' wordiness started getting to me. As far as Dickens' books go, though, I loved A Tale of Two Cities and really liked this one.
Yeah our teacher told us about that but we got the second ending without little Pip!Catspaw wrote:I had to read it for two different classes and I enjoyed it very much!
