Nicholas Nickleby by Charles Dickens

4.0

---

Nicholas Nickleby surprised me with how engaged I was with the story and the characters. I was pretty sure as I haven't enjoyed the two earlier books, Oliver Twist and Pickwick Papers, I wouldn't enjoy this but from the first page I was in love. Sure, it is a bit too long for my liking at parts and should have come through a serious editing progress but I fell in love with the characters, especially Nicholas, Smike and Kate and was invested with their journeys until the very end. I'm very happy to say that I don't think my journey through Dickens' books will be as bad as I predicted.
