Great expectations

          I personally enjoyed my read through of the book great expectations, i can see how someone wouldn't enjoy it though as it has a not very happy ending with hard to understand phrasing and words. I found the style interesting, retro, and is one of the main reasons i enjoyed the book so much. The characters were also interesting and easy to connect with, case in point Joe, he was a rather slow but lovable character who over the course of the book was almost constantly doing nice things to and for Pip. Even the "bad" characters like
Orlick make the book altogether more enjoyable and the book wouldn't be quite so good if they weren't in it.
         I had read in mad scrambles to finish hundred page blocks of catch up reading, this might be due to procrastination techniques and my absences in school. But if i wasn't rushing to get some reading done then i would read every night at about 10 oclock most usually in my bed. I finished the book at my usual time when i get my reading done and i finished in my bed. I enjoyed the reading at home it was nice although not having teachers there to explain certain phrases and words can be sort of a pain, i also tried reading once in my family room and that was not a very couth decision as i had to read sentences or paragraphs over again. But my overall comprehension probably wasn't too affected by reading at home as we talked about the reading every day in class.
