Great Expectations

I HATE GREAT EXPECTATIONS!!!! *calms herself* who all out there has read it and what do you think? i read it last year, it's the reason my english grade went down...i might have liked it better with a good teacher...but overall...it...was ....horrid. *grrs* what do you guys think?

Lol...I forced myself to read it a few years ago when I was really bored and didn't understand it. I found it easier to read about a year ago, but yeah...still not on my favorites list. I suppose I still don't understand it...but who cares? ::purr::

This is another one i read during A'levels, though this time I really didnt get into it. Im not sure what it was, but it just wasnt one that kept me in suspense

I found it HORRIBLY boring lol...still do... :D

it's the reason my A in english dropped to a B lol i kept getting C's on the tests on it!

Haha poor lifey...I don't blame you one bit lol

Lol, what really really bugged my was my really smart friend read it later in the year and was like 'what is your problem with it? i thought it was okay"

I was supposed to read this book for english honors, but I never got around to it. IT PUT ME TO SLEEP!! No other book has ever done that! Then, again, I've only read decent books.

It was disgusting. I wrote that paper blindly and passed with a 98%.

i have to read it again now for AP Lit. and then Mr. Pip, the follow up book.
and annotate both.

school starts tomorrow: i have like 200 pages of mr. pip left...and about 100 of GE. *dies*

i could not agree with you more at the moment:
(it being 11:30 at night, and having roughly 150 pages more total to read. up till 2am much?)

Now I'm worried. My co-worker recommended it to me when he saw that I was reading A Tale of Two Cities. I just ordered my own copy of what he says is probably his favourite book. I hope I don't hate it.

Alright so: i finished all the reading/annotating on time. and i turned in the books. and...i got 86% on my GE annotations! wewt! (we haven't got Mr. Pip back yet).

but upon finishing BOTH books, i've decided that if i had been introduced to these (well actually i really enjoyed Mr. Pip, i highly recommend reading it after you read Great Expectations) books without the pressure of school, and if i could read them at my own pace i would quite enjoy them.

i've decided that someday i want to reread them all over again. (it would be my 3rd time reading GE and my 2nd Mr. Pip.)
btw i read Mr. Pip in 10 hours (minus 30minute-1 hour long breaks every now and then. and a shower)

I just don't understand. I'm loving it so far. Perhaps it is just because I'm not being forced to read it. Or maybe I'm a nutter. It's one or the other.

I hate this book as well. I had to read it this year for english. We didn't read but up to chapter 15 and personally, i didn't really read it. It had no meaning to me and was very confusing. And my teacher would tell use theres a quiz and she never told us about one the past class or the past week.

I did not like this book and wish not to read it ever again.

I read this book in high school and it was very confusing and boring. But maybe if I read it again it wouldn't be that bad.

Well it is boring. Theres like no point to it what so ever. Its story line makes no sence and the characters are stupid. Thats just what i think.
