Gah!Bah!Pffft!The ending soooo did NOT make the book worthwhile reading! So I appreciated the whole lessons bit (typical!) but well, I knew it, I just knew it!Since, it took me so long to get around to reading this classical work, I supposed I shouldn't complain so much but I just thought Miss Havisham plays a much bigger role than she did. And that the novel was more 'gothic'. I am completely mistaken :( This story focused totally and completely on Pip and of lessons he deservedly learned. There was no ghost and aside from Miss Havisham (who isn't as sinister as I thought she'd be), no sinister figures. Just Pip and his life lessons.I am, however, eternally grateful to "friends" of Dickens who convinced him to alter the original ending. Still wasn't that much better to my perspective but it did brought the book up from 1 star to 2.
