Great Expectations (Dover Thrift Editions: Classic Novels) Review: this book comes highly recommended. I make this recommendation for people who would ... - If this review is integrated into reviews of other publisher versions, let it be known I have purchased the Dover Thrift Edition. If you are in need of a classic, this book comes highly recommended. I make this recommendation for people who would be interested in a book for it's great characterization. While reading the novel, I had a distinct feeling for each of the characters, often having unique voices simply by the form of their words. It is a story of a poor boy who becomes interested in acquiring class, acquires it (by chance, not effort) and then readjusts into a new life separate from his old one. In this story, we meet eccentric characters of the countryside, then become acquainted with the classier characters of the city. The narrator, Pip, is both likable, unlikable, and relatable because of his many flaws and aspirations. Much of the story is driven by love, though the subject of our narrator's love is often admitted not to deserve it. I found the first part of the novel comparable to a read of Huckleberry Finn because of young Pip's innocence and strong heart. When it got to the second part, it reads much like a Victorian version of Catcher in the Rye, because teenage Pip (self-aware and hard on him with it) often finds himself ashamed, embarrassed, and unhappy in a room with anyone--his lesser and higher companions. The third portion becomes unlike anything but itself, and is introduced precisely at the time that the story threatens to fizzle out. I found the third portion of the book to be the most suspenseful and ironic, where the moral point is fully uncovered. This book is not heavy with action, combat, or thrills, but with voice, irony, and layered interaction. This is the type of book that someone reads when they're looking to reflect on themselves for who they are and how they treat their old and new loyalties. Review: Must read. - This is a timeless classic which I would recommend to all ages. Some words have to be interpreted because it's part of UK linguistics and certain meanings of the story will not go well without a better understanding. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 0486415864 | | Best Sellers Rank | #14,736 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #294 in Coming of Age Fiction (Books) #487 in Classic Literature & Fiction #1,352 in Literary Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (919) | | Dimensions | 5.3 x 0.91 x 8.54 inches | | Edition | Unabridged | | ISBN-10 | 9780486415864 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0486415864 | | Item Weight | 10.4 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 384 pages | | Publication date | August 1, 2001 | | Publisher | Dover Publications | | Reading age | 12 years and up | ## Images ![Great Expectations (Dover Thrift Editions: Classic Novels) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Z+zOzjf4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ this book comes highly recommended.
