Real love hate relationship with this one. I acknowledge the influence Dickens and this novel has and the feeling of knowing so many characters inside and out over the course is very interesting and the book has some very beautiful phrasings and themes.
But..BUT the book put me in a reading slump (on holiday an almost criminal offense) because this was in a time before editors, and for the pacing this book reaaaaaallly needed one, so even though I get that it's a classic I can't in good faith give it more than 3 stars.
