kaelz 's review for:
The Old Curiosity Shop: A Tale
by Charles Dickens
I guess I expect more from Dickens. This is an example of "telling". We are constantly told whether characters are ugly or beautiful, which aligns unerringly with whether they are good or bad.
I know he wrote prolifically and published the chapters each week. This story has an episodic feel as a result and I wonder if he knew where it was going when he started.
The title is also confusing as the story has little to do with the shop.
