I'm reading Great Expectations (Charles Dickens) for school. At the beginning, I was sure I was going to absolutely hate it. Actually, though, I really enjoy it. Sure, the plot didn't start until like a third of the way into the book, but it's still really good. I think my class discussions might make it better, because we're always arguing about the characters.
I think it's really amazing how awful Charles Dickens made the characters. Pip is selfish and arrogant and yet his is the perspective the story is told through. I have a really hard time giving my characters strong dislikable traits, so I'm learning a lot from this story.
Who else has read it? Who is your favorite character? I personally like Estella (as does probably a third of my English class. We have fun arguing with my teacher about her strong points).
