This novel unexpectedly turned out to be a bit of a comfort read, probably due to Charles Dickens' writing style and the animation of his characters. I found it really clever how he communicates important issues in society through his characters in an entertaining and almost comical way.  I also really liked the message throughout and the portrayal of the time period's values.
