Read this for my studies. Although I did enjoy the different layers and the artistic styles, it is not my favorite book. It is a staple in English literature, and I understand why.

Some call this Dickens' best book. I can't judge that, but I loved reading it. It is insightful, interesting, compelling and relevant to today. HIghly recommend.

Second half was much better than the first, and the final chapter was absolutely fantastic.

Hard Times aka Charles Dickens spends 384 pages ranting about capitalism and relentlessly mocking its supporters. Excellent.
