there never were such characters… you can forgive the plot for being a bit contrived, for it brings these people in constant and wonderful conversation together
I love Dickens' characterization! How could I ever forget Uriah Heep or Mr. McCawber, having read this book now? I much preferred this to Great Expectations. It has more levity, redemption, and moments of irony that made me laugh as I read.

I liked the first 40%. It was engaging and loved fast enough for me to stay engaged. I laughed out loud a couple times. Then I hit 45% and it slowed way down and I lost all interest or motivation to read it. It takes half the book to get married twice. I started reading at speed then, having switched the audiobook. His writing is good but verbose and florid and his pacing is slow. Dickens and I will never be friends. I had to convince myself not to dnf this book (and I don’t dnf books as a rule)
