Hey Dickens, stick a Pip in it!

Date of Review:  Jun 25, 2004
The Bottom Line: Most people would appear to have liked Great Expectations, but I sure didn't care for it. It was merely okay, as I expected it to be.
Review: I was in the mood for some fiction, just so that I could get a refresher as to why it is I dislike the majority of it. I was fortunate to not have to look far, resulting in my expectations being met, although, not in a great way. When I finished...

The World May Change, but People Remain the Same

Date of Review:  Oct 17, 2002
The Bottom Line: A wonderful work by a literary master.
Review: What is it that sets the great authors apart from the rest of the pack? Is it that they are great storytellers? They must be, to be sure, but more is required than the simple ability to regale an enthralling tale to elevate an author to revered...

Great indeed!

Date of Review:  May 16, 2001
The Bottom Line: This book is excellent. It starts off a little slow but it is just Dickens building a plot and story that will make you a better person for reading it.
Review: I once attempted to read this book several years ago in middle school. It lacked the stimulus that my young mind needed to maintain focus long enough to get in to it, hence, it was shelved and other books such as "The Hardy Boys" and "Storm...

Professional Reviews

  Russo, Richard, Mother Jones: "When I was young I understood Pip and sympathized with him and felt what he felt in his various horrors and discovery of his paternity. As I got older I...was horrified by his shallowness. It's like watching 'The Graduate' when you were young - and then older and you understand why Mrs. Robinson doesn't want to talk with him in bed."
