ReviewsReview: Great Expectations"A graphic retelling of Dickens' Great Expectations. This volume also includes a list of characters and a summary, a biography of Dickens, a brief historical context for the novel, a brief discussion of the novel's two endings, a glossary, and page of important quotations from the novel. I found the book to be entertaining and the illustrations represent the story well."--Shelby Guinn, Swainston Middle School, January 2011

SynopsisPip is a young man from humble beginnings with great expectations. He abandons his old life to become a gentleman after several occurrences: a frightening meeting with an escaped prisoner; a call to meet with the bitter, old Miss Havisham and the beautiful but cold-hearted Estella; and the sudden generosity of a stranger. Pip's tale is retold here in bright graphic novel format, with striking illustrations and clever dialogue.
