I also hated Great Expectations. What a poor title.

I hated it the first time I read it, but I’ve had to teach it the past two years, and it’s grown on me.
Did you know that there are two endings? Dickens’s friends read his first conclusion and told him that he had to change it. The first one is just too grim to bear, but the second one is ok. David Copperfield is my favorite of his novels, though.
