Howdy,
Well, another Dickens novel. This is one of his latter novels. Whereas the earlier one I read (Oliver) was one of his earlier. This was also initially serialised in a newspaper and you can still see that in it.
The book start off great, with one of my favorite lines. The book is set in three parts. The inital part is pip g
rowing up and highlights a turblent part of his life where he comes across many wierd and wonderful characters. I like this part of the book the best because Dickens is soo good at creating characters. The second part out lines his education in london and the third part ties up the loose ends.

I like this part of the book the best because Dickens is soo good at creating characters. The second part out lines his education in london and the third part ties up the loose ends. As it turns out many of the chacaters double up, and this means that there is a lack of new characters. hard to explain unless 
you read it. I have to say I found the book very hard to follow in places and quite labour intensive in others, much like Oliver. Pip isn't a particulaly likable guy, he doesn't learn many lessons, he seems niave.

So long, on to the Godfather, light stuff alltogether.
Til then
