Little Dorrit
by Charles Dickens
Seriously, save yourself some time and read the summary on Schmoop:

If you've read a lot of Dickens, you know that he has a tendency to get a little in over his head with multiple plots; his biggest flaw, in my opinion, is that he cannot seem to intertwine all of his story lines. I do not believe the readers are the only ones who get lost somewhere in the middle. Most of us are willing to forgive this flaw, because the introductions and conclusions to his novels are always so damn moving. However, in this novel, the introduction is interesting enough, but the conclusion is just thrown together in a big, sloppy, confusing mess. Heck, even at the time he wrote this novel, people were so confused he had to add notes to explain what the hell just happened! I'm sorry, Dickens, but this novel was a flop. I'll still give you three stars, though, because you still wrote a nice beginning, and, well, I'm a little biased towards you. Thanks for trying!
