Manga Classics: Great Expectations

by Crystal S. Chan (Adapter), Charles Dickens, Nokman Poon (Artist)

Great Expectations tells the story of Pip, an English orphan who rises to wealth, deserts his true friends, and becomes humbled by his own arrogance. It also introduces one of the more colorful characters in Miss Havisham. Dickens set Great Expectations during the time that England was becoming a wealthy world power. Machines were making factories more productive, yet people lived in awful conditions. Naïve Pip, creepy Miss Haversham, beautifully cold Estella, terrifying Abel Magwitch and the rest of Dicken's fantastic cast are perfectly envisioned in Crystal Chan's new adaptation featuring artwork by artist Nokman Poon.

I never was a big fan of this story, but it was OK.

[Erin · Rating 3 out of 5]

Excellent illustrations, as always with Manga Classics. This story is terrible though.

[Josh · Rating 4 out of 5]

Seemed like a cliff notes version but I enjoyed it. I kinda want to read the original novel now.

Miss Haviham is so real, I too would live in my wedding dress and ruin people's lives if I got jilted at the altar.
