PDF/EPUB 3sant.co ↠ Great Expectations ePUB ´ great pdf, expectations kindle, Great Expectations KindleI was really mad when I finished this book last night I have to say I enjoyed this much than the other Dickens' books I've read which is funny because someone told me it was written for kids so I should read it because I would like it better probably and I did It just felt too long and I kind of saw the twist of who was Pip's benefactor coming but at the same time I think the way everything is told and developed is really good I think I mostly felt it was long because I had to read slower than I would have otherwise because the writing was complex and I wanted to make sure I was understanding what was happening and fully understanding each sentence I think the last sentence or two of this book was really beautiful and so well written but it made me really mad to have it end that way despite the fact that it was a really good ending because it was ambiguous I know it seems like no matter what happens

I took me nearly three whole months to finish it Not because it was bad but because it dragged and dragged and there are far intriguing books out there than Great ExpectationsThe good stuffAn exciting cast of characters most of them very weird extravagant and almost to completely ridiculous By far my favourites are Joe because he's such a goodhearted person and Miss Havisham because I totally look up to her dedication to melodramaWhat also got me hooked were the huge revelations in this book There were a few things that I did not see comingThe bad stuffToo many words too many pages I was completely demotivated to ever finish this
