I really, really enjoyed it. It lost me slightly during Volume II, but raced through Volume III. Dickens’ style of writing is SO witty and the fourth-wall breaking is so tactfully done, that really speaks to the style of how I’d like to write.
emotional funny sad slow-paced

Miss Havisham scares the bejeezus out of me.
