4 stjärnor
So, my first proper full-length Dickens. I liked it. It's funny, it's got more bite than I expected it to, and the twist in the last third is very well done (far too many coincidences notwithstanding). I do love what he does with all the characters, and how he uses the first-person POV to keep us both in Pip's perspective and let us see where everything goes wrong. In the end it's all a little too convenient for my taste, but I laugh enough an get invested enough for it to work.
