Overall, I enjoyed the novel Great Expectations. The overall plotline of the novel was interesting, even if it was somewhat predictable. I really enjoyed all of the little mysteries that were thrown into the plot, they made the novel much more interesting. Most of the mysteries came with no surprises in the solutions, probably because Dickens puts a lot of foreshadowing into his writing. In the beginning of the novel I definitely sympathized Pip, who wouldn’t? However, by stage 2, Pip was getting what was coming to him. I started to like Pip a little more by the time the novel ended and Pip turned his life around.
I had a routine for reading pretty well down, which helped me read the entire book without ever skipping chapters. If ever skipped a day, I would just catch up the next day, or on the weekend. I would be already in my room doing homework from other classes so that’s where I ended up reading every day. I’d start at about 4:30 or 5:00 and read until I finished the assignment for the night. It helped to read in my room because it was generally quiet, so I could focus. I would have to re-read many paragraphs and pages from the novel if I had been reading in a noisy atmosphere. I had a much better understanding of the novel Great Expectations because of my reading setting.
