Nicholas Nickleby by Charles Dickens

4.75

For as massive a work as this is, it's absolutely chock-full of plot. The characters aren't quite as vivid as those in Oliver Twist, but the narrative surrounding Nicholas and all his surrounding characters is a genuinely stunning one, with a death scene that's a real tear-jerker and a villain who meets his downfall in an utterly satisfying, *complete* way. The length may be a turn-off, but stick with it: it's worth the time commitment.
