Great Expectations

Hey Everyone,

Just last week we finished reading the book Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. In my opinion this book was very long and most of the story wasn't all that interesting. The last like ten chapters were the best but unfortunately you kind of need to read the beginning to understand what is going on. It's a really good storyline because it is basically a soap opera but someone seriously needs to write a modern edition like people did with Shakespeare's work. If you chose to read this book you will learn that Dickens put everything in for a reason. I am giving this book a rating of 3 books because although the storyline is great, the actual book is a little boring.
