I actually really enjoyed reading this! It is my first Dickens novel, and I adored the storytelling and Pip's narration throughout. These novels that are almost slice of life, but obviously have bigger themes and topics to tackle are some of my favorites. I thought that this was easy to get into if you haven't read any of Dickens' other stuff. I think the only thing holding me back is that the last chapter was definitely not my favorite. Everything else is great though, so I highly recommend!
