I read this book for my high school English class this year, I personally was not a fan of this novel for personal reasons, but the book was well written and was a good read. Pip’s transformation and journey to find himself (as that is what it really was) was quite fascinating. Most characters were very intriguing and interesting with their own developments. I do have to say that the originally written ending makes much more sense and is a lot more likely to have been what should have happened. Though I’ve heard that most perfer the second ending. What do you think about the endings?

I keep meaning to read this, especially since its always referenced in popular culture. I need to work on expanding my scope of interestSydKS37 wrote: ↑02 Nov 2012, 22:00I read this awhile ago, and thought it was absolutely amazing. Pip's transformation from the beginning of the book to the end are so interesting, and when the tale comes to a close, and all the twists are revealed. I would recommend this book to anyone, it's definitely a wonderful read.

Same. It took my trying to read the books three times to finish it. I never understood the hype. But I can respect anyone that enjoys his work. I somehow just find it bland. But I was younger when I tried, a Freshman in high school, if I ever reread it I may enjoy it more now that I'm older.
