Posts and Reviews:

Great Expectations - great expectations,a fantastic novel - posted 8 months ago

I think it's beautifully written - lots of telling details, great evocation of time and place and, as mentioned, loads of humor (although of an older vintage - not "in-your-face" humor).

Great Expectations - great expectations,a fantastic novel - posted 9 months ago

(responding to old post from someone who apparently has finished the book, but ...) Yes, I like the humor - sudden little turns of phrase that make you chuckle, and so dry sometimes that you don't catch the comic edge until after you've read it.
Anyone reading GE now?
