A review by cspeet
Martin Chuzzlewit by Charles Dickens

4.0

I know Dickens thought this was his best work, but I'm not so sure. Don't get me wrong, it was a good read, but I don't know if it matches any of his well-known and loved classics (David Copperfield, Great Expectations, or Oliver Twist, for example). The novel was thematically strong, examining facets of trust and greed. Plus, this novel features characters who temporarily emigrated to the United States, so the reader gets a sense of Dickens' impression of the US in his time. Worth reading and entertaining.
