challenging dark emotional hopeful sad tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes

4.0

At first, the regular repetition of phrases was a bit jarring, but then it grew on me.  There was also a lull in the middle where it dragged but the last third of the book was positively action packed with everything coming to fruition.

I never that I would cry at the end of a book I had to read for English class, but here we are! This book has firmly cemented itself as my favorite book by Dickens. Such an interesting story, with a beautiful group of people who love each other so dearly at the center of it.
