Great adaptation💗

[Joey Susan · Rating 4 out of 5]

The story of poor boy Pip who gets an opportunity of a lifetime but it doesn’t go so smoothly as he’d planned it to be. With help from someone unexpected, to finding a girl he once new to learning everything he could.

This was a really good version of the classic story, I did feel it was a little glazed over in certain parts of the story where they could have still gone in more depth, but it was still told really well and it was enjoyable.

These books will always be a great way of getting a classic story into younger readers hands and I love that. These story tell great story’s of an era long past from writers who are still talked about.
