Stupid long winded tome. My title says it all

A Master Piece indeed.. A Literary Classic.A Great Read For Young or Elderly.

Surreal. It’s like reading a dream. Wow

Darker than Drood. Told in the first person, this suspenseful, amazing tale evinces the terrible ways that adults abuse, manipulate, and distort the lives of innocent children in their power. Led astray into the clutches of a spectral old hag, poor Pip sees his “great expectations” evaporate - and ends a bachelor! Dickens is the best- addictive!

Swag. Swag

flawless. a true inspiration.

Lovely book!. Great expectations is a wonderful book, worthy of re-reading.

Great. Great classics! Very much enjoyed!

Great Expectations. Don’t read this book

Great expectations. Long book

Not A Book, But A Work of Art. Charles Dickens is an author that just blew my mind away! When I was reading it I felt that I was actually going through the adventure with Pip! I started reading this book when I was in fifth grade and so far it has been amazing! The people who gave it low ratings just don't understand it. THIS BOOK IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great Expectations. A story of many a life.

Free or Not. Is it free though?

Great Expectations. I loved how tenderly he speaks of himself when he was just a little Pip. The endearing way that he describes his little self, is heartwarming and amusing.

Must read. One of my favorite books of all time! Even in the past, existed real life issues. Everything comes full circle with time. This story is a masterpiece!

Dickens. Such a marvelous writer. Very humorous.

Mediocre Expectations. I had to read this book in English class. Had to say it was very painful to read due to the old language. The majority of the class used sparknotes/shmoop to actually understand what was going on. HOWEVER, the plot was good, and the idea of the story was well written. Although it is hard to read in our times it must have been a hit back in the ol' days. Probably would not get through this book if I were to read it alone though.

Lovely book!. Very captivating and overall a very enjoyable book! There are many wonderful plot twists and very interesting writing style. Definitely recommend this book!

Love. One of my favorite classics

I can see how it can bore you. This book is good if you truly understand and comprehend the story. If you are just trying to find a book to read casually it can be boring.

Great Expectations far exceeded.. Amazing book. Could not put it down! The humor, candor, building up and subsequent supposed tearing down of Pip was excellent in every way. A true masterpiece.

Great Expectations. This book is an astounding classic.

Great classic!. Although the writing was difficult to read, at times because of the time period the book was written, Dickens storytelling and description of Pip made me excited to continue reading the entire novel.

Great Expectations. I haven’t read many of Dickens books and I think I’ve been missing a lot. As I read the book I felt it had really no former plan for the story and he just ingeniously wrote as his thoughts led him. He was an amazing author as we all know. I will read more of his books. This book was the clincher.

Something for Everyone. A great story with elements to satisfy every reader-adventure, mystery, sadness, joy and surprises. Dickens weaves all these into a journey with a timeless universal truth.

Great Expectations. For those who enjoy classical literature with the utmost twists and turns. A truly wonderful book.

Great Expectations. A masterpiece of human insight... interesting at first, but gets a bit slow. If you persevere in reading, the book takes off at a dead run and finishes with a flourish! Well worth the time to read.

Love. Such an amazing author. Such an inspiring and beautiful book.

horrible. I had to read this book for summer reading, and it was one of the worst books I have ever read. It is boring and way too long. Do Not Read this book if you do not have to.

A great classic for sure!. No movie or mini-series has done it justice.

Nice book. I liked the book although I wish it had a better ending

A nice novel. This novel is really good and has a deep meaning.

Wow. My brother fell asleep reading this book on the 4th page. Mr.Charles Dickens.

Why. This was one of the worst books I've ever read.

Yk it wasn’t bad. if i read this w/o summaries and my teacher’s plot explanations id give this a solid 1 star but it kind of gets better at the end. like it’s easier to understand and more interesting, at least for me. characters are a 10/10 frl

G.O.A.T.. This is a really great and well written book by Charles Dickens. It's an instant classic.

G. It grate book has a lovely story!!!!!!

South park. This was literally a South Park episode, but in more detail, I love this book

Burrr. Too boring with a spice of I-do-not-see-women and women are merely objects . I liked the Shakespearean era tho

Blah blah. Charles dickens is one of my favorite authors but this book is so boring.

Absolutely Beautiful. This book was extremely thought provoking and overall just wonderful. Charles Dickens comes through again. Some say this is a sad book but I strongly disagree. There are two endings and I do recommend checking them both out. They are equally interesting and satisfying in my opinion bc it didn’t change or affect the main lesson of the story itself. The book is about sacrifice and priorities and family, the journey through those things and the lessons learned from them.

Great Expectations. I can’t remember if I read this book in school, but this time I really enjoyed it. There is a lot of humor in Great Expectations. Plus, Charles Dickens is a master of lyrical prose and some passages passages have descriptions that can make the reader stop and take a breath and read the passage over again.

Review of Great Expectations. This book is dull and tedious with very few exciting moments in these fifty nine chapters,and would drag on with words describing the scenery. There are more words in this book describing his surroundings than actually moving the storyline along and the old English grammar makes it even harder to comprehend and makes it even more tiresome than it could have been in modern day English grammar.The final chapter was not a very good ending,however the chapter before was actually in my opinion was better than the prevailing ending,because in chapter fifty eight it shows where all the living characters were and how they had their happy or unhappy endings. Even though the actual ending showed how in the end Pip never gets the woman that he was obsessing over in almost all the chapters and was talking about nonstop. I would not recommend this book unless you like repetitive books with an awful endings.

Dickens at his best. A classic that needs to be read again and again!

Seen movie now reading the actual book.. First time reading and what journey 💜. I’ve seen the movie starring Ethan Hawk and I loved it. I didn’t know a book pre existed the movie! I was watching Power Book 1 and they’ve mentioned this book as an assignment to a class. So I was intrigued and took a ride and wow it was an incredible ride.

Great Expectations. This is a fabulous story, full of real life lessons and guidance to navigate hardships and disappointments in life without succumbing to them. The main people in this story were molded by all of these things in their lives and ended up with great characters. People today could learn a lot from this story. I highly recommend it - especially to younger adults.

GREAT BOOK. I absolutely love the plot of this book, the storyline is amazing. Dickens builds a great amount of suspense in this novel. But it is so hard to read I wouldn't have understand it if It weren't for my English Teacher and spark notes. Very hard to follow but if I lived back when this was written I would give it 5 stars!💗

Great Expectations. Quite exemplary work of Charles dickens, a recommended read for any Who look for a book filled with plot twists and detailed storytelling.

ONE OF MY FAVOROTES. I grew up reading this book and the story always captivated me. The details of the cobwebs, corpse like bride, and cold hearted manners of most of the characters, kept my attention the entire time. This book started my love of gothic novels. If you enjoy Dickens work I highly recommend it.

Great Expectations. Very Boring and slow. Meaningful, though.

What the.... Fabulous read , exceeded my expectations

Great. I am so glad I found this we are doing this for a project at school and I have already fell in love with this book it is fab it makes you want to red more

Wonderful. It is probably thirty years since I last read this book. I read it as a boy and fell into it. I came upon it again on iBooks, read a few chapters and was hooked all over again. I had remembered it being a classic but had forgotten how evocative and powerful it was. Enjoy.

Mosmos05. Brilliant

NOT EVEN WORTH A STAR. The worst book I've ever read

Excellent.. To be honest I didn't have 'Great Expectations' about this book thinking it really wouldn't appeal to me. How wrong I was.

Amazing.. I first read this book 5 years ago for a school essay and absolutely fell in love with it.

Good book. I have this book at school and i can read it here now thx

Bad. Don’t read

Great expectations. A very good read and not like your everyday book not an expected ending

Great expectations. It is good story but awfully difficult to read.... Took me long time to get it finished!

Great Expectations. First classic I have read. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and will now consider more Dickens. I was pleasantly surprised by the humour, and laughed out loud several times. Dickens creates atmospheres and ambience you can almost smell. His characters are complete, you know precisely what you are dealing with. Great read, persevere with the language and you start to appreciate it.

One of Dickens's best novels. Perhaps only bettered by Bleak House this is a delightful study of social class and unrequited love.

Very boring. Very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very boring still 5 stars though

Just fine. It’s good but filled with too many pointless events.

Best book ever!!!. I didn’t want to read books when I was little but this one was amazing!!!!

Pretty good!. This book is quite good although it does take a while to get into it but once you do it gets better from there and onwards. It never failed to surprise me and turned out the exact opposite to what I predicted- something I do often when reading and the majority of the time get right! This just shows how good this book is as it doesn't fail to surprise so keeps it intriguing, the only downside which is why it is four star is purely its slow going.

Amazing. This book is a good story and is free

Brilliant. This books is priceless along with all dickens' work, hence they are all free.

Great Expectations. WOW MUST GET

Maybe it's just me. Describes London and atmosphere at that time brilliantly otherwise did not satisfy my expectations . The story is average and well....... You decide.

Awful, just awful. Awful characters, awful plot, wanted to burn my iPod after the first chapter

Brilliant. I saw a spoof of this on the TV show "South Park" and I saw it on here and thought I'd give it a go and I loved it. South park added some laughs in but the original version by C. D is an absolute joy to read ~ A must get (it's free anyway) you won't be disappointed!

Good read but not 5 star. Something was missing

Noice. It’s noice, lots of pages to keep you reading Just noice

“O dear old Pip,old chap,”. I certainly enjoyed your expectations old chap you and mr dickens did owes proud. I loved this marvellous book and eternally great full thank you. It’s just goes to show,how lucky wi are to get us an education,that I think many of us take for granted. And forget how difficult it was for our ancestors.

Book. I liked it but it was way to long I would rather feed my pet crumpet

Dickens. A classic

Satisfying ending. Dickens crafts this story so we can delve into the innermost thoughts of the protagonist, Pip. We journey with him through his desires: from marrying Estella, to becoming a great gentleman. Once he becomes this gentlemen, he perceives it to be an opportunity of a lifetime and he casts his life of poverty into a metaphorical abyss. However, Pip soon realises that great expectations do not fulfil the satisfaction that is derived from a loving marriage, friends and honest trade - even if that means being poor. Dickens constructs Pip to subtly teach us to value the most important virtues in life; it was written in Victorian England where the divide between the poor and rich was great, and so stemmed avarice and jealousy.

Memorable and thought provoking. I discovered this book in secondary school and it’s remained a firm favourite ever since. The characters are fascinating and unique, and the book has a gripping plot with several dramatic plot twists and Dickens’ distinctive, whimsical prose. He movingly explores timeless issues such as crime and punishment, the corrupting influence of money and ambition, nature vs nurture etc. As other reviewers have pointed out, the book is quite long, but it’s worth the effort!

Thoroughly enjoyable read. This is my first Dickens novel and I have thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. Dickens is far more accessible than I thought and his style, humour and insight to the human character has confirmed to me why this author is still so revered today... I'm off to download another!

A Classic. Thoroughly enjoyed the book. A true classic and it's free, what more could you ask for?

Great Expectations By Charles Dickens. Great in every sense of the word. A fantastically crafted book with powerful characters and a dastardly plot, which has so many twists and turns it pulls the reader in and holds them fiercely in it’s grasp. I’m reading this book again after many years and find it even better than I remembered it! A true classic.

no no no. tooo long and not for me

Great Expectations. Atmospheric, intriguing and a real page-turner. The themes of this story stayed with me throughout the day as I was reading it. Dickens at his best!

Aleciaaa. Seems great!

Brilliant.. .

Brilliant. This book definitely exceeded my own expectations. It keeps a good pace, has lots of memorable characters and plenty of unexpected turns in the story. Not always rosy but always hopeful and absolutely couldn't put it down.

😊. I love classics and this book is one of my favourites! It's just fun to read.😉

Meh. It was a good book, but it got a little boring at times

Not quite what I expected it to be.. Long winded and dry, I’m afraid.

Its Art. Depth of character and storyline no longer capable of modern writers

Really Good. Not Necessarily Great.. Honestly (and ironically) this book was not as good as I thought it would be. I’ve tried to read as many classics as I can over the past few years and unlike most, this one just didn’t live up to all the hype. There were long stretches where I struggled to stay interested. Don’t get me wrong, Dickens was a literary genius and the writing is well worth the historical recognition. I just expected it to be a bit more… grand?

classics. Classics are classics for a reason. This one certainly stood the test of time. I pity those who say they have no time to read, or read only that which is easy and popular to read at the time. Thank you Mr. Dickens, we are enriched by your wisdom.
