The Pickwick Papers
by Charles Dickens
The Pickwick Papers follows a group friends, lead by Mr Samuel Pickwick, as they go on adventures and get into mischief while collecting stories.
This is his first published works and his humorist work. It doesn't follow a traditional plot formula as it reads more episodic like and would make a great sitcom. Pickwick is a lovable and caring character who means well, but he tends to consider the consequences of actions as he gets into trouble a lot. His servant Sam Weller is by my favorite character. He is insightful providing a different perspective on things and is loyal, almost to a fault. His relationship with his father is sweet and endearing. The stories within stories threw me off and often I wasn't interested in those stories. Being his first novel, the female characters are lackluster and one dimensional. They do allow for romance but it's a small part of story and isn't revealed towards the last part of the novel. I might have appreciated it more if I had read it in installments as it was originally published.
