GREAT EXPECTATIONS (CHARLES DICKENS)

This book describes the story of an orphan, Pip who lives with his elder sister and her husband who was a blacksmith. On Christmas day at the graveyard, while looking at his parent’s grave, he is confronted by a person believed to be a criminal. Pip helped the man that day and the man never forgot him. The next part of the story shows Pip falling in love and gaining access to a humongous fortune, but with a few conditions. He would not know the person who was giving him the fortune until that person decided to reveal it. Pip was happy with these conditions.

But there are many mysteries or gaping holes in the plan. Who was the other conflict he had seen on the graveyard that day? Why did he always feel so bad? All these questions and many more will continue to arise as you read the book. So, haste thee, before it is too late…

I recommend this book to children of ages 11+.

THE HOWLER RATING: ★★★☆☆
