dani_the_pluviophile_writer 's review for:

Our Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens

DID NOT FINISH

---

This is not my first Dicken's book but I can assure you I won't be reading anymore. I understand that Dicken's was paid per word so I can forgive him for being a boring windbag but this books was not enjoyable for me at all. It was apparently humourous but I did not find the humor in it. I recall enjoying Oliver Twist but that was one of Dicken's shorter books. I think the man is a great writer but find it a shame that he dragged almost every single on of his novels out. This book, including a few others I have read by him would have been better off if it was cut in half.
