tculp 's review for:

Nicholas Nickleby by Charles Dickens
5.0

I am a big Dickens fan, so it's no surprise that I loved this. To me, it's in the same vein as David Copperfield and Bleak House. Not as serious in tone as Tale of 2 Cities or Great Expectations, not quite as much of a silly parody as Oliver Twist. So many funny characters, darling pure-hearted heroes and heroines, fun plot twists, and clever commentary on human nature. Yes, Dickens is always a bit verbose. But if you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the journey, it's an epic payoff.
