A review by martinbihl
Barnaby Rudge by Charles Dickens

4.0

Dickens regains his form after the stumble of "Curiousity Shop". Great characters, great villians, and a great story - and if he pulls his punches a little at the end, well, who can blame him. He'll finish it properly in "Tale of Two Cities".

One more thing - as an American, it was fascinating to learn about the Gordon Riots (the background for this tale). Because we're so preoccupied with our own revolution, we never hear about the chaos caused by it elsewhere.
