K. Chesterton as a "study in human weakness and the slow human surrender," may be called &&LSTRONGCharles Dickens&&L/B''s finest moment in a remarkably illustrious literary career.&&LBR&&LBRIn an overgrown churchyard, a grizzled convict springs upon an orphan named Pip. The convict terrifies the young boy and threatens to kill him unless Pip helps further his escape. Later, Pip finds himself in the ruined garden where he meets the bitter and crazy Miss Havisham and her foster child Estella, with whom he immediately falls in love. After a secret benefactor gives him a fortune, Pip moves to London, where he cultivates great expectations for a life which would allow him to discard his impoverished beginnings and socialize with the idle upper class. As Pip struggles to become a gentleman and is tormented endlessly by the beautiful Estella, he slowly learns the truth about himself and his illusions.&&LBR&&LBRWritten in the last decade of his life, &&LIGreat Expectations&&L/I reveals Dickens''s dark attitudes toward Victorian society, its inherent class structure, and its materialism. Yet this novel persists as one of Dickens''s most popular. Richly comic and immensely readable, &&LIGreat Expectations&&L/I overspills with vividly drawn characters, moral maelstroms, and the sorrow and pity of love.&&L/P&&LP&&LBRadhika Jones&&L/B is a doctoral candidate in English and comparative literature at Columbia University and the managing editor of &&LIGrand Street magazine&&L/I.&&L/P&&L/B&&L/B

4 out of 5 stars
by buythenumb3rsAug 15, 2008
Overall theme and plot were great, but the longevity...
The beginning was a little boring. The middle was fantastic, after sifting through all the pointless jargon, you get the sense of things, and it actually turns out to be a great book. Cons/Criticisms: The longevity of the book. It just keeps going on and on. Also, i am not to fond that it takes Dickens three pages to say just one thing (no offense). Sometimes its a minor thing, other times it's a major thing. However, you can't deny that this book does have meaning and does bring pleasure to you, and for that, i give it 4 stars (4.5 if i could be more exact).
