Great Expectations II

There could only ever be three reasons as to why you find yourself reading this text. 1: You finished and liked part 1 and want to continue the story. 2: The hummus on your finger brought your here by accident or 3: You're one of those... special readers who, three chapters into part 1, just NEED to know how the story ends - right now! Regardless, you shan't be spoiled today. Pip, now 23, beset by ill fortune and spectres of the past, continues his quest to wrest the fair princess Estella from the evil sorceress Miss Havisham's clutches. Fortunately, Pip uses his first wish to have the Genie turn him into a prince to help his chances. If this sounds like a completely different story, it's basically not - especially if you add a cup of frock coats, a pinch of Victorian stiff upper lip and finally that 4th spice: Cumin of Age. Read it before you watch the Bruce Lee drama "An Orphan's Tragedy" or one of the eight other film adaptations. Charles Dickens (1812-1870) was an English author, social critic, and philanthropist.
