The title of this book suggests the certainty of conscious brilliance. Such a title may have been an excellent strategy to grab attention in a fresh aspirant for public favour; but the most renowned author of the day, monitored by envious competitors and reviewers, could scarcely have chosen it if he did not believe he could match all the expectations he generated.
Sometimes all you want from a novel is a heartwarming, feel-good story, and Charles Dickens' Great Expectations delivers on that front. This novel, centred on an incredibly sympathetic, kind and ambitious lead character, masterfully combines absence of parents with more serious subjects, resulting in a life-affirming narrative that hits a number of high notes and is guaranteed to resonate with any reader.
