i adore the early character sketches and the vividness of david’s childhood scenes. 10/10 for those sections because they are the ones that will stick with me the most. even though i wished the story would’ve progressed faster in the later half, by the end i was left with the feeling of a close time spent with and getting to know these characters and i was glad that i had. the pathos with which dickens details them is so well done that the time spent becomes like memories you’ve lived. 

“We must meet reverses boldly, and not suffer them to frighten us, my dear. We must learn to act the play out. We must live misfortune down, Trot!” i Love u especially miss betsey
