Titania, what a great review!
Great Expectations is a book so dear to me and certainly one of my all-time favourites. I had a cheap paperback translation which I kept reading and re-reading all throughout the fifth grade, again and again, until the book was completely torn. Before that I had been reading mostly children's literature like The Wind in the Willows, Narnia and Mary Poppins and it was probably this book which has brought about my literary awarenes. I have re-read it many times since.
