With every Dickens I read, I become  more and more certain that he is the greatest wit of all time. He seamlessly mixes high satire with feeling description, romance, mystery and general comedy. Whilst at times this became almost a satire of itself, it is so well written and rounded off that it doesn’t matter. Dickens, chapeau.
