This is a long read but that is because it is partly a book of its times. The characters are vivid and as often with Dickens in many cases, especially amongst the minor characters, larger than life. There are some wonderful names.
The story rambles along and at times is hilarious - such as when Pickwick is trundle along in a wheelbarrow at the shoot. IN th end, kindness wins.
It's worth the long journey.
