Book Reviews of Great Expectations (Penguin Classics)
Book Review: A Masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not going to say much about the story, because you probably already know it. I first discovered the book over 40 years ago in high school.
But I really appreciated this edition. As a forward, there is an overview of the book, pointing out things to help you understand them when you read them. It also clarifies some of the points made. It doesn't say anything about Pip suffering from depression, but I think he does, which contributes to his low self-esteem.
Then at the back of the book, there is a section of notes, including the original ending. There are also notes on some of the words used or articles mentioned in the book.
All in all, this was a wonderful read and look forward to reading it again.
