I understand that Charles Dickens is not for everyone and his books can get boring at points. Though I like his books because I feel he was one of the first authors to have his books focused on the lower classes. When most authors before him only wrote about the super wealthy. Out of all his books I see people often hate on Great Expectations in which I feel is a story on assimilation on trying to fit into a society that will tolerate you but will never truly accept you. I related a lot to Pip’s struggles as a first generation American. Though I’d like to hear why people don’t like it, cause I feel I’m the only one who does like the book.

No one ever taught Dickens to be more economical with his words.
I didn’t know that was a thing. Great book. Everyone I know who has read it, enjoyed it.
That’s interesting! I haven’t noticed that. I love Charles Dickens work and my least fave it actually A Tale of Two Cities
It wasn’t what they expected.
Always thought the consensus was this is one of Dickens’ best.
