Another review of a classic Charles Dickens book is here for you all to read and judge. Great expectations is an awesome book including three parts- The years before the great expectations, Life in London with great expectations and The years after the loss of great expectations and the author's favourite child character, Pip.
Pip's family name was Philip Pirrip which he could not spell and so decided to name himself with a simpler name, Pip. Poor Pip was an orphan who also lost  his six siblings at a very young age. As one day Pip was playing in his favourite place, the graveyard, a serious, frightful and overwhelming man bypassed his way. Let me address Pip as 'he' from now. He lived with his sister who was twenty years older than he and her husband, the blacksmith.
Then, in the story, came another fearful encounter with a frightful man but not the one I had mentioned earlier. The two convicts fought and were caught by the policemen. I wrote about this event as I feel it plays a very important role in the following story which I won't reveal. Mr Havisham, Estella, Orlick, Joe and Biddy are among other characters you'll meet.
A one word description of the piece of work- Outstanding.....
not the same book which I read
