tashabye 's review for:
The Pickwick Papers
by Charles Dickens
I can only give this a 2 as I went as far as 80% read and just couldn't go on another minute. The book started off so strong and well! It was funny and had me laughing. I was feeling surprised that I was enjoying it so much and so looking forward to more of the same. Then after about chapter 18 & 19, the last times I laughed out loud, it seemed to just go downhill. Some chapters became boring, some seemed to go off on tangents that just did not seem to relate to the story or the characters, and some that just didn't make sense. Just as I would be about to give up, a good chapter would pop up and I'd continue on with hopes that those other chapters were just bumps along the way. But it continued on the same with all the detours and boredom. There were chapters where I just barely gleamed what was going on, enough to keep me going but not enough to make me feel engaged in the story. I finally just had enough. I think this book could have been a really great, funny tale if half of it was deleted.
