I liked it but I didn't find it particularly memorable. <br /><br />I'm really glad you ended up liking Dickens! I know some people were forced to read him in high school and that spoiled it forever. I only read Great Expectations my senior year in college and then I didn't read any of his other works for nearly 20 years, and now he's one of my favorites. Right now I'm nearly finished with Martin Chuzzlewit. It did take awhile to get going but now I really like it -- I've read nearly 300 pages in a week, which is really fast Dickens novel for me. I hope to finish it tonight. I know Chuzzlewit isn't one of the most popular novels but please consider adding it to your TBR list.Karen K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13483190930383406559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-84522953820960351032012-02-28T16:11:44.046-05:002012-02-28T16:11:44.046-05:00This one sounds good - I have it on my list, but I...This one sounds good - I have it on my list, but I'm not sure why (before reading this) as I too know almost nothing about it.amanda @ simplerpastimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14127945915013121105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-83046213570434417102012-02-27T16:33:56.144-05:002012-02-27T16:33:56.144-05:00I'm glad you are liking this.

Just imagine all of these characters and when they did the play they used about 15 actors--each (except NN) taking multiple roles.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01140033967048452572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-20716188570720716022012-02-27T16:06:31.734-05:002012-02-27T16:06:31.734-05:00If this is lighter, it might be the Dickens for me...If this is lighter, it might be the Dickens for me...Sam (Tiny Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16375434438465319913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-42516808930058421712012-02-27T11:24:39.559-05:002012-02-27T11:24:39.559-05:00Allie, I LOVE that first quote and have never seen...Allie, I LOVE that first quote and have never seen it before (never read NN).
