Thoughts on Reading

Now having finished the book, what I enjoyed the most would be the characters. They are just not like any characters in other books, there just different. Like Joe who is a mild aged man who acts like a 5yr old and Miss Havisham who is this creepy woman who's goal in life is to break every mans heart through her adopted daughter. I mean can you name a another book with character like these?  The mystery that I discovered by myself was Orlick being the one who hurt Mrs. Joe, while the one that caught me off guard the most was Molly and Provis being Estella's parents because there was no foreshadowing, it was a complete surprise.
I can proudly say that yes I did read the entire book and never once used spark notes! As for my reading habits... they are horrible. I would read when ever I finish all my regular math homework or Spanish flashcards then would read. After that because I would never finish, before bed I would read until I fell asleep reading which was most nights. If I didn't finish that night I would get up at 6am and finish. I personally found while reading the book it was hard to stay focused. Especially in the middle of the book, chapters 30-40. But as far as the endings I found them my favorite and not just because I didn't have to read it anymore but because in most books there is not two endings one the author liked and the other the publisher which I found interesting.
