Great Expectations for Great Expectations.

          Every time I meet an adult who is fascinated by my name the conversation always steers to are you named after the character Pip in the book Great Expectations, the answer is always no. So after hearing about how good the book is and the way Charles Dickens writes with such beauty. I have decided to give Great expectations a shot, with very high expectations!
          The book magically starts off with a description of each character and in that description Charles Dickens describes the main character as a smart, friendly, boy. He is an orphan child that has never even gotten to know or see his parents and his name is Pip. Pip often tries to think or make descriptions to how he thinks his parents look like. The descriptions aren't just random, but very baffling in the fact that he uses objects that are next to his parents graves site as descriptions of their physical appearance. The reason that i said that Pip does that is I think he is confused on how he is supposed to live his life. One day a man comes up to him threatening to kill him if he doesn't bring him food. Pip acts in a very awkward way and agrees to meet him alone with the food and goods and if he accomplished that he would not be killed. Now I don't want to spoil the story and tell you what happens, but I will tell you is Charles Dickens doesn't tell you a story he puts you right inside the brain of Pip and secretly describes every emotional action Pip makes.
           Now I realize why this book got praises from so many people I know, because it is everything you need in a book. The writing is something that you can only dream about actually writing a book like that your self. The story is one of the best stories I have read period! But the real genius in this book is the material and there is nothing more raw than the characters and the creativity. I am not trying to sell you this book nor am I suggesting it. All I am saying is this is the best book I have read in my entire life and there is no doubt in my mind that it will stay this way!
