I have been loving working through the works of Charles Dickens and for the most part have loved them.
This one, despite being one of his most famous is one that I haven't liked at all. Found it slow and the story too thin to be such a long book. I'll take David Copperfield instead for a sad and bleak tale of a young mistreated and abandoned boy.
