One of Dickens's bests, in my opinion. I enjoyed the story so much and Pip is a wonderful, humane character who I can relate well. The coming of age story still has some coincidences that are pretty corny, and the ending is too Dickensian anyway, but I still enjoyed it tremendously. This book reminds me of so many other Dickens's works that I haven't read. ...more
