Okay, I've decided to quit on page 98. It's a good book and it talks about a lot of important societal issues from the industrial revolution, some of which are still relevant today...but I'm honestly not enjoying myself, so whatever. I give up. I have better things to do and books I'll enjoy to read.
This is the first Dicken's novel I've read. I'm really not disappointed. Dickens depicts vividly The Victorian England of 1854, the year Dickens published Hard Times, when half the people lived in towns and cities and machines replaced many tasks formely performed by hand; the consequences of the Industrial Revolution. Dickens focuses on the evils of the Industrial system, but education remains a major theme in the novel. A gripping Victorian read.
