Haven't read it yet but I have great expectations.
Read it in high school freshman year, read it four times since then. Great book.
Great prose, great themes, great characters, even a great plot.
I had great expectations for it, I'll tell ya that much

His prose was shit, actually. He was no Thackeray.
He made up for it in sheer storytelling prowess, though.

pretty much my thoughts, his storytelling was top notch. great expectations is my favorite dickens piece for it.

Well, I like his prose, at least. Always feels comfy.
I agree that Thackeray's is nice, but Vanity Fair is one of the few books I've given up on. Easily the most depressing novel I've read, or at least started to read.
