Great Expectations

WOW! What a book. I kinda got lost in the language but I am pretty sure I understood the book. I felt for Pip. There were times when I was angree with Pip. Like when Pip finds out he is going to London to study to be a gentlemen and he acts like everyone is beneath him. GRRR. Or when Joe visits Pip in London and is rude to Joe.
I am glad that Pip finally learns it doesnt matter what your background is. Love is the most important in life. I am happy that he ends up with Estella. Or does he? There are two endings to this story. The first one is where Estella marries a doctor and Pip is in London with Joe and and Biddy's son and sees Estella and they shake hands and don't say much but hi. That is heart breaking. This ending where they are in the garden and walk off into the sunset holding hands is much better!
When I was reading this book I kept thinking about Karma. And the way it came around to everyone. Pip, Estella, Herbert, Miss. H., Magwitch, and so on. It's a good life lesson. What comes around goes around. I did enjoy this book.
Go out and read Great Expectations!
