I've always liked Dickens. I had already read David Copperfield in its entirety, and I have been exposed to parts of his other novels, but I think I like Great Expectations the best. Even though my experience with with the GE gang is over, I still feel like I know those people, especially Pip.
The other day I watched part of a film that was based on the book. It sucked! I really do not understand why people feel the need to alter the classics. I'm still trying to get over that movie Troy. I guess that after a few millenia people felt that ol' Homer could use a little help. I don't even want to get started on The Scarlet Letter, which had to be the worst cinematic representation of a classic novel that has ever been made.
Anyway, I was forced to read GE rather quickly, so I think that a reread is in order. Reading this type of thing is always more enjoyable when you give yourself time to digest everything. Fortunately, summer break is approaching.
