1) Paperback Book Great Expectations (Dover Thrift Editions) by Dover Publications. I wish that the book was shorter :( Especially because it´s 387 pages and I have to write a report on it (10 paragraphs on 10 quotes from the story that I believe show the importance of the story in the next 10 days :( YUCK! However, it still hasa very interesting storyline that is very very detailed :D¤

2) Paperback Book Great Expectations (Dover Thrift Editions) by Dover Publications. This is an excellent coming-of-age book with which many people will be able to relate. I will admit, the beginning was rather grueling, but looking back, I am glad I finished the book. Dickens has a fabulous vocabulary and an excellent sense of people. The characters are dynamic and quite various. I would recommend this book to other scholars.¤

3) Paperback Book Great Expectations (Dover Thrift Editions) by Dover Publications. Great Expectations is an amazing novel that truly upholds the style of literature found during the Victorian period. Although some parts are the book were less adventuresome in comparison to other sections, the book over all was quite pleasant to read. If you like a little thrill and narratives that grasp your attention and have huge climactic endings, then Great Expectations is for you!¤

4) Paperback Book Great Expectations (Dover Thrift Editions) by Dover Publications. Without a doubt this has to be one of the greatest novels of all time. I won´t say it´s the best just because once a work of art attains greatness I find it quite incomparable to other great works. Great works are ones which have fully succeeded in expressing the emotions and convictions of the artist, and without a doubt Great Expectations acheives this. Unfortunately I only hold this view of the book containing the original ending, which was not the originally published ending. (spoiler) The original ending at first seems sad and frustrating, but one can´t help but to feel satisfied in knowing that through suffering Estella had gained a heart, which is much more than she would have gained through a cold and heartless relationship with Pip. The happy ending which was published is almost a fairtale ending and it perverts the themes which make the novel so relevant to reality. I must admit, like Dickens´ friends and publisher, the original ending was hard for me to swallow, but as I dwelt on it and how it related to the novel, no other ending seemed appropriate, especially not a happy one.¤

5) Paperback Book Great Expectations (Dover Thrift Editions) by Dover Publications. Well, i have read all of the previous reviews, and it is apparant that people either love this book or hate this book. I was 15 when i first read this book, and have since read it again and it is probably my favorite book of all time. Yes, it is rather boring at times, and yes, it has a long, involved, and confusing plot, and yes, Charles Dickens gives very tedious descriptions of everything. But the morals and meanings portrayed in this book far outshine the faults. If you cannot find them, then it will most likely be boring and dull. If you can, it will probably become one of your alltime favorites.¤

Humbled, orphaned Pip is apprenticed to the dirty work of the forge but dares to dream of becoming a gentleman — and one day he finds himself in possession of "great expectations." One of Dickens´s finest novels, this is a gripping tale of crime and guilt, revenge and reward.
