1. In general I enjoyed this book. It was, however, a little difficult to beleive in some parts, as a few of the main concepts or happenings were a little far-fetched. How many times have you had the experiance of randomly running into an escaped convict? Also, most every chasracter was way overblown. Miss Havisham was overly creepy to imagine. She isn't your the average little old lady down the street. She was deranged and dramatic to a point that she was almost obnoxious to read about because she is so unbelievable. There were some humerous parts too, though. My favorite was when Wemmick is with Miss Skiffins and he keeps trying to put his arm around her. So in all it was a good book to have read, but probably not one I would reread willingly. I was able to deduce most of the mysteries myself exept for Estalla's parents. I wish at he end that Dickens showed Molly again, to see how she reacted to her daughter.
2. I am proud to say that I actually read the whole book. I got behind for two days, and frantically caught up by reading three assignments in one night. After that, I never fell behind again. I either did my reading right before bed; that has always been my favorite time to read, or in the morning. It may sound like procrastination, but like you had your coffee, I would make myself a steaming, delicious chai tea latte. I get up at 5:10, take a shower, then look forward to settling down with my tchai and book. At 6:00 Mackenzie comes over and she finishes her other homework before we go to the bus stop. My mornings are peaceful and I probably prefered reading before school in the morning than at night because I would usually end up going to sleep late. Also, I could comprehend the book better in the morning and it would be fresher in my mind before first period. I will sorely miss my chai tea, Pip-filled mornings.
