Great Expectations by Charles DickensMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
We had to read this for 9th grade history. This was difficult as it is about London and Paris and the events leading up to the french revolution. It is a good story line but somewhat confusing for an 8th soon to be 9th grader. If you don’t know the story (it was the best of times, it was the worst of times…) – people flee France to go to England. the storming of the Bastille begins the revolution. The main characters return to France in the midst of all of the executions. There is an ultimate sacrifice in the name of love and honor. Overall good read and I got A- in the quiz.
