Mister Pip




Nice style. I liked the author's varied sentence construction. That, more than the story itself, kept me reading. Protagonist also had a strong voice. Novel starts off interesting, but I started to lose interest in the latter third. Some of the scenes felt redundant/repetitive. But more serious was the fact that a couple major decisions taken by the principal characters didn't make sense to me. Spoiler alrert: and it got a whole lot gritter than it needed to be.
