Haaa!! Sergant Frankie indeed!! I'm up to chapter 11 now.......I didn't realise how unintelligent LaGuerta is!! It doesn't translate at all in the TV series.

Yeah Great Expectations! I was bought a box set of classics by a relative for my 10th (ish) birthday Goodness knows why they thought that was a good present for a 10 year old The set contained Great Expectations, A tale of two cites, Swiss Family Robinson, Treasure Island, Emma and others that I can't remember but not very child orientated books I think. But I loved Great Expectations because Pip starts out as a boy and I suppose it's a story of his growing up isn't it so it must have appealed to me.

I think that A Christmas Carol is amazing! I would definitely recommend that one. I've read the Pickwick Papers but didn't really enjoy it too much and Nicholas Nickleby is really good. I haven't really read a lot of Dickens.... maybe 5 books. I think I'd like to read more but they can be pretty heavy going can't they.
