If I got paid by the word, I would write over a thousand pages as well. Old Charlie boy could have wrapped this one up in 300 pages, or less; the plot (and the several hundred subplots) move at a slower pace than the Australian Government recognising climate change.
I liked this book a lot--Dickens always has a great combination of humor, pathos, intrigue, and social commentary. Some great characters, especially Flora. Not my favorite of Dickens's books chiefly because the denouement seems to come out of nowhere.

What a book. One of Dickens's best - a truly fantastic, moving clever novel, and an absolute favourite of mine.
