A review by shadowsmoon
Barnaby Rudge by Charles Dickens
4.0
Oh Charles, You are just amazing. I still have that table reservation for you if you fancy turning up one day.
It took me a while to comprehend the sheer amount of complexity in this book and I'm not going to lie, the middle section challenged me beyond words. But I have to say by the last few chapters I had realised how utterly attached I had become to the characters. There are also so many moral views and nuggets of profound wisdom in this novel that I was moved deep inside at times.
Apparently it's one of his least read books, which, I can understand why. But the characters are just as entertaining and intriguing and I defy you not to fall in love with them. It has taken me a long time to read this book, whilst I've been doing other things this year, but it has spanned most of the first half of the year and I still think about it and miss the journey.
Charles, I need that dinner date with you.
