A review by agnesiana
Hard Times by Charles Dickens, Jeff Nunokawa, Gage McWeeny

2.75

dickens was a good writer but this book is so preachy and so saccharine that its hard to get through. sissy is a great character who i think carries the story, but overall there's just not a lot here that isnt handled with far more nuance in other works. i will say though its really funny that dickens wrote a novel attacking utilitarianism while not understanding it even slightly
