Great Expectations by Charles Dickens

As I suspected, my high school self wasn’t ready for this book; I thoroughly enjoyed it this time around. I love Dickens’s style, particularly his humorous descriptions and the way that everything seems to connect in the end. I’m also impressed by how the story caused my feelings about the protagonist, Pip, to evolve over time, mirroring his own experience. Great Expectations is a heart-warming depiction of humans’ ability to change.
