msredringo 's review for:
Our Mutual Friend
by Charles Dickens
Part 4 done. (Obviously). I have not much to say but that it was one of the best classics I've ever read. One of Dickens' best, from what I heard, and after reading this one? I can't wait to read the others. I like how this book deals with the problems, the shallowness, the silliness, the schemes, the struggles, the questions, the conspiracies, the rivalries, the visions, and the love present; which is still evident even in the present day society. One would think that since more than a century had passed since this was written (1885?) that the society, our society in general would know better by now. Somehow, the problems are still there, the shallowness and the silliness are present, the schemes and the conspiracies are still turning their full course, the questions are still left unanswered. Jealousy, crime, love are still present. Dickens, in this story, had totally captured the frailties and the strengths of the human heart. I could see my strengths in a. few characters in the story and my weaknesses in almost all of them. My prejudices and my insecurities are just all over the place lol it is a classic one should read even once in his or her life.
