i have just read "great expectation" it is a real outstanding story.it is the most excitting story i have ever read.

Charles Dickens is my favorite author of all time. I just love the way he writes. He has the ability to be sarcastic in a classy way. A Christmas Carol is a favorite of mine. I read it every Christmas. I also love Oliver Twist.

It took me 6 months but I finally found a 1887 mint book of the Tale of Two Cities and am excited to read!

I reread this every year. It never gets boring.

{old notes}
(535) Scrooge's Nephew:

"Christmas... as a good time: a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow-passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on their journeys"

I just really like this story!

This book has allot to do with expectations couse if u have great expectations and it does not happen u might not be very happy so this book taught me not to have great expectations!

I was always averse to Dickens, thinking that his writing would be dry. And I have been wonderfully surprised to find such humor and wit in his writing. I absolutely love the characters of Joe and Pip, and I find Dickens' sense of humor contemporary and throughly enjoyable.

One of my favorites.

Excellent classics. I love to read a Christmas Carol at this time of year.
