Book Title:- Great Expectations
Author:- Charles Dickens
Oh my god! I never expected that it would take an effort read a classic.
People have been reviewing Great Expectations for 150 years. To be very
frank, i found Great Expectations not so great to my own
expectations.It was good, but not great.
The story gained some interest from the beginning but i found it boring, dull, lifeless, and flat in. Many times, i had to remind myself what the plot was about. But, as i forced myself to complete the book and not leaving it half read, i sincerely thank that moment. I regained interest in the story after more than half of it. I even asked for the summary to one of my cousins who had seen the movie, but still while reading it, i found it much better. May be this is the reason i always say that books are always better than movies!!!
Written in first person, the main character Pip and his decisions as well as expectations looked quite close to real life. Miss Haversham added some mystery to the story. The end was a bit surprising but not unpredictable. From the very beginning, i could make out ultimate fall of Estella.
But, i have a doubt, it is known as children's book. From where can children have so much patience to get themselves hooked to this story. May be my perception change once i have many more classics...:)
How did you like the book? Would you go ahead and read it after my thoughts on it? Write your heart/mind in comments section. I would be glad to read out your end of thinking on the book.
