5 Reasons To Read 'Great Expectations' - No Spoilers

[@shariwelch8760]

I'm glad to see a review of one of my favorite books of all time. It's desert-island kind of book. It makes you cry, but it also makes you laugh, scares you, makes you feel love and pity and disgust...it's got everything. And I agree, don't watch any movies first! They abridge it too much. Dickens writes with such clarity that you will see everything and feel everything, no movie ever made from this book does it justice.

You're absolutely right,.. very true, one of my favorites too

[@abotaentertainment5825]

Ya, you are absolutely right

[@Stephania52069]

Just finished re-reading this again. One of my all time favorite books. Dickens God bless you for your writing.

Spot on mate. I read it for English literature at school and now I read it every year, 42 times, seen all the films and cartoons and for me its 2nd favourite book after jane Eyre. I love Rochester. Good review buddy .

I’m re reading Great Expectations. It was one novel that changed my life. I’m re visiting all the many layers and characters with a more mature eye. Wonderful.

I´m going to be reading ¨Great Expectations¨ soon after completing ¨Spock´s World¨ by Diane Duane. ¨Great Expectations¨ was referenced in a novel that my father wrote a long ago before he passed away. My father didn´t enjoy the ending of ¨Great Expectations¨. If he were alive today, I´d tell him that not all good stories end in a positive, ideal way. My argument wouldn´t be for the sake of argument because fate is the thing we cannot control.

i really like the way you review it, not telling all the story, please keep doing it😍😍

[@igotsomechicken9714]

i read this book when i was 11 or 12, i can't remember and it took me ages to get through. i didn't hate though and i didn't love it, i think i should give it a re-read now that i'm a bit older because i think i could probably understand it better now

[@happilyeveresch5648]

I LOVED this! Great Expectations was my favorite read from last year and all of your reasons were so great. Miss Haversham is the worst/best character. I also think that Joe is one of my favorite literary characters of all time. He is just too good for this world 😭😭😭

[@happyelephantbooks8803]

Happily Ever Esch I totally agree. Big hearts for Joe!!! ❤️

[@KristensLibrary]

I have tried to read Great Expectations before and I struggled through the first half, ahaha! But your 5 reasons gets me excited to try it again :D This was such a smart idea for a video..top 5 reasons to read a book! You should definitely do more like that! Consider me subscribed :)

[@happyelephantbooks8803]

KristensLibrary hey thanks Kristen! I think maybe you need to be in the right frame of mind to read it and perhaps with lots of time handy. Just because it is so different to what we're all used to these days. Perfect backpacking book! So you just have to plan a long holiday just so you can read this Book! Thanks, you're inspiring me to do more of them :)

[@KristensLibrary]

That is so true! It is different from what we read today..so I will definitely remember to pack it for a long trip ;)

[@sophiefitter967]

I'm doing an oral report on this book tomorrow and you just gave me half the ways to sell it (we're being CEO's in my honors English class, don't ask me why) so thank you so much!!!!

[@giosueagius7003]

That is true.... Joe made me cry everytime... I never felt so emotional.

[@voodootortoisevoodootortoi91]

Joe makes me sad at how i treated my dad. Luckily we made up before he died. Powerful characters in this story

[@soumiayousfi9968]

I just finish reading it and YES you are absolutely true. Thank you for the video. Dickens is such a genius ♥♥♥

[@BookYourImagination]

I read this in high school, but I don't remember any of this. I love books where all the details are thought out. I call them perfect books. I don't usually read classics, but I may have to pick this one up again. Good vid!

[@happyelephantbooks8803]

Book Your Imagination I think sometimes when we're made to read something it can impact how we enjoy it. Let me know if you do read it! I hope it goes well :)

[@silviapereztracogna9947]

@@happyelephantbooks8803 Hello! I think you're right. I'm finishing reading "The scarlet letter" by Hawthorne for my teaching career, and at the beginning it was like a heavy load and I wasn't interested at all. But when I got into the book and the characters I found it so enjoyable and attractive that now I'm wishing to know what will happen next! I got to your video because the next novel in my course is "Great expectations", and I wanted to get an idea about the story. So I want to thank you so much for your video and I'm looking forward to starting reading it very soon. Regards and good luck with your channel! I'm Silvia from Uruguay.

I don't think I vibe with this book. I would agree to most of the things you mentioned, but somehow it didn't hit me in my feels as much as I expected. Granted, I haven't read the last five chapters yet, but somehow it doesn't really do much for me. I do think it has interesting perspectives on integrity and character development, but it's missing something. I still hope the ending will add a few points though.

[@santi7616]

I like it very much the review. I read the book and it was awesome. I agree, the friendship Joe and pip is heartbreaking. I think the book is among the most important of Dickens bibliographie, I have read a few more by him but this one is my favorite. I also want to congratulate you for the background music, I like a lot Tchaikovsky 🥇😉💖🎧 good job. Looking forward to more reviews. Best regards 🏆

[@thereadinglifeofmaida]

Hey what happened? You didn't post any video it's been 5 years.

[@phucanhhoang7523]

Hi, I really really love Great Expectations too! It's defo in my list of all-time favourites, and I have always recommended this book for my friends (and probably annoyed them too xD) Btw I rlly like your review and also your holiday to vietnam (I'm actually from vietnam myself). Totally didn't expect this:)

[@eetoved1758]

Love this. The tea, the robin ❤

[@nedmerrill5705]

Magwitch is my hero.

[@Realyash]

Dang it looks so calm, its 7 years ago bro

[@TheSteinmetzen]

I felt pity for Miss Haversham.

[@curtisrobinson7962]

She needed psychiatric care, bless her heart.

[@LailaK95]

I read this recently for one of my uni modules and absolutely adore it. Which edition is that? Looks so similar to my clothbound classic but slightly different?

[@fatimalmasri8723]

[@priscillacalle]

I'm just starting to read it, this video is awesome! Great reasons! subscribed

[@vajidalishah3595]

Great review. Where do you rank this with a tale of two cities? Is it better than gatsby for over all story and life lessons?

[@curtisrobinson7962]

Q: Was Pip a virgin when the book ended?

[@hasanhaitham276]

Good God that intro scared the life out of me, you should put a warning before it.

[@NoufKh-e1l]

Thanks for the book review truly appreciated, but please change the elephant intro I nearly had a heart attack

[@millie8974]
