A review by blueyorkie
Nicholas Nickleby by Charles Dickens

3.0

Why classify this novel in children's literature? I am not convinced that this is the category that corresponds. Getting into this novel took me a while because we did not understand the style immediately. Will there be several adventures utterly independent of each other? As the chapters read, since, in the end, they are chapters, we realize that there will be a continuous story and that all these little adventures lead to a final scene. Characters continually add, and remembering the good ones is not always easy (those who will return in the following pages). Still, after a few returns and some memory efforts, one settles well in the London of Mr. Pickwick and Pickwickians, and we enjoy their adventures. We laugh all the way and never get bored.
