cliobemuzedbookworm 's review for:

The Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens
DID NOT FINISH

basically a string of comedic sketches. Theyre pretty good in and off themselves, howvere, I don't really like episodic things. Since there isn't really an overarching story (100 pages in) I am not going to make myself finish it.
I do like Charles Dickens, but this one isn't for me.
In the pages that I did like, I did really appreciate the stories withi stories. Dickens is really good at those.
It's to be noted that his work was meant to be read over a large period of time. As it was published in episodes in the newspaper. I think I could get through it like that, but ultimately I don't really have any interest in doing so.
