Reader’s Reviews:

I took to Dickens when I was in high school in the 1950’s and read several of his classics. When I was in my 30’s, I had a lot of time on my hands one winter, bought a complete set of his books, and read every one. Well, they sure aren’t all great – he did write potboilers – but his language is good and still readable. Great Expectations came up in a reading group this winter, so I re-read it. Wonderful! I laughed and laughed through the first chapter! Plot worked. Characters worked. I think it’s good for at least another 50 years. (Best movie? Go back to 1947. Prime has it on file now.)
I avoided reading books by Charles Dickens because I thought the old style of English would be too tough to work through and keep my interest. I was wrong. I waited 64 years before I figured this out. Maybe I needed to wait until this before I could appreciate his work. It is basically a story of a young orphan boy, named Pip, coming of age in the mid- 19th century. It is a life full of characters both good, bad and in between. The main thrust though is how theses characters all affect young Pip’s beliefs; fears and… great expectations. As he grows he finds that many are not what he originally thought them to be. However, they are what they are. The story is about how Pip learns to deal with them and life’s twist and turns.
For Christmas, my three children have me the entire Jane Austen collection of Penguin Classics Clothbound. Since then, I’ve been adding other titles to my collection and GREAT EXPECTATIONS was a no-brainer. One of my favorite books by Dickens. Well, one of my favorite books, period. This edition, in my opinion, is just the loveliest. So beautiful in person and easy to hold on one’s hand. I highly recommend the Penguin Clothbound Collection. Great for book collector’s of any age. Start a collection for little ones and by the time they are old enough to enjoy they’ll have a wonderful set of books.
