Title: Have Low Expectations
Review: HOW I JUDGE A CLASSIC: I don't give extra brownie points to classic books. I ask myself, "If this book were published today by some unknown author, what would I think of it?" Perhaps this isn't a fair way to judge a classic, but that's the method I use.PROS OF GREAT EXPECTATIONS:- It has outstanding character development.- It's a story about people and relationships.- Good, authentic dialog.- A nice moral story.CONS:- Painfully slow pacing.- Long-winded writing style, long paragraphs.- Few characters that are that agreeable.CONCLUSION: Have low expectations when you read "Great Expectations." Modern books have much faster pacing and are more easy to read. For those who love the classics, they will love this book. I, however, preferred "A Tale of Two Cities."
