Great Expectations is one of the most boring books I've ever read. Somebody tell me what I'm missing!

Agree… there are very few things more boring than moody 1800s Brit literature. Mark Twain agrees.

You didn’t find it suspenseful when Orlick was going to kill Pip in the kiln? Or when Jaggers hints at his maid’s “large hands”? Or the creepy aura of a hermit woman wearing a wedding gown and one shoe? Or Magwitch pushing young Pip around?
I have read a lot of Dickens, and GE is not my favorite, but it is well crafted and a good read.
