My Review: Well, this may not be fair because I actually didn't finish the book. I don't remember the last time that I didn't finish a book, but this one was so long, it had been checked out from library for more than 2 months and I just didn't have it in me to keep trudging. Generally, this book is well-liked, but I found it quite dry (with a little bit of humor here and there) and I had a hard time following along. A few times I reviewed summaries of the chapters to get a better idea of the plot, but I was never sucked in to the stories. If I make it through my current 'to-read' list, and once I've read a few of Dickens' other works then I'm willing to give this one another shot.
