What a experience it was to read this book. I think I like the original ending of the book more than the published ending.

[TJ · Rating 5 out of 5]

mainly I’m just proud that I got through the entire thing as this was an AP Lit book I never actually read, but I’m really happy I waited to read it until I was older and could actually appreciate its meaning

Great Expectations is the quintessential coming-of-age story and is a great classic. I make no pretense to attempt to review it but will just add this final paragraph below. Dickens had two endings to choose from and Im glad he went with the sentimental one:

-- I took her hand in mine, and we went out of the ruined place; and, as the morning mists had risen long ago when I first left the forge, so, the evening mists were rising now, and in the broad expanse of tranquil light they showed me, I saw no shadow of another parting from her.

I think - I think - that *maybe* this might be #1 on my Dickens list now.
