Ih. It was fine. I had never read anything by Dickens, so I now feel smarter for having done so, which is something. One thing I liked, though, was that at the start of the introduction to the edition I read there was this:
“The plot of Great Expectations turns upon a surprise revelation; readers new to the novel who would rather not have this information revealed in advance may wish to treat this introduction as an afterward.” – introduction to the Oxford University Press 2008 edition
I very much appreciated the spoiler alert. The Third Policeman did not have a spoiler alert so I read the introduction when I read that, and was very mad at them for the rest of the book. So thank you OUP.
Oh, and there's one passage that I really liked, but I'll post that later.

After we've all read it so you don't spoil it??
I've actually read this. But I don't remember it and am not even sure I'd know the "surprise revelation" if you told me... (feel free though since I've already read it and am not likely to again in the near future)
