Great Expectations by Charles Dickens

Probably most of you already heard about this book because it's a popular classic, and you probably are like "Oh, it's too boring, ugh. Classics!" But seriously, when you read this it will totally change your view of classics forever. It's about this ten-year old boy named Pip and his parents died so he is left to his already married sister, and he starts living with her. His sister has married a blacksmith by the name of Joe Gargery. When Pip is ten, he meets a strange old lady by the name of Ms. Havisham. He starts visiting Ms. Havisham regularly to entertain her. Ms. Havisham has been in her wedding gown for many years, and has a old, disgusting, rotted wedding cake sitting at a dusty table. Ms. Havisham has stopped all her clocks and Pip has no idea why. (hint hint if you read the book, you just might find out why though). Ms. Havisham has a young girl living with her (same age as Pip), and the girl's name is Estella. Estella is a very beautiful girl and treats Pip like he is scum. However, Pip LOVES Estella and dreams about her day and night. Apart from all this romance, Pip encounters a convict who asks Pip for a bite of food, and Pip gives some to him, not knowing what else to do. The convict frightens Pip immensely, and Pip hopes he never sees this strange man again! Okay, so that's all I am going to tell you, interesting enough, huh? Yes, I told you so. I highly recommend listening to this book with audio, especially a certain BBC version. (That's what I did, then I read the book myself.) Anyway, classics are wonderful. Please read this book because you will really enjoy it, guaranteed. Happy Reading! :)
