In this unflaggingly suspenseful story of aspirations and moral redemption, humble,
orphaned Pip, a ward of his short-tempered older sister and her husband, Joe, is
apprenticed to the dirty work of the forge but dares to dream of becoming a gentleman. Written in the last decade of Dickens' life, Great Expectations was praised widely and universally admired. It was his last great novel, and many critics believe it to be his finest. Readers and critics alike praised it for its masterful plot, and for its three-dimensional, psychologically realistic characters.

Characters: 19. Amazon rating: 4 1/2 stars. Genre: Fiction.
