Great Expectations by Charles Dickens


Again, a great novel by Charles Dickens portraying the life an orphan child Pip who goes through a chain of events that keeps him occupied with all the sentimental and emotional ups and downs that comes with the fortune that he received from an unknown benefactor. The best thing about the novel is the development of the story and disclosure at the climax about the benefactor. The ending is not a happy one but not as tragic as in “A Tale of Two Cities” by Charles Dickens.  Also, unlike “A Tale…..” this one has got a good sense of humor which actually keeps your mind engaged and prevents the possibility of you getting depressed again with Charles Dickens characters. I find the novel worth suggesting to readers.
