mjeitler 's review for:

Hard Times by Charles Dickens, Jeff Nunokawa, Gage McWeeny

4.0

---

I read this novel as part of a course on the intersection of film and literature, and I thought it was delightful! In this class, I learned that dickens believed literature should serve to advance a social goal, but that it should first and foremost should entertain. I though this novel did both remarkably well. What a fun read.
