sloshydolphin 's review for:

Hard Times by Charles Dickens, Jeff Nunokawa, Gage McWeeny
4.0

One of the shortest (if not the shortest) Dickens novel. The themes of the book are typical Dickens and told beautifully but far fewer than the characters than often in Dickens longer novels. As i have said before i find reading Dickens very hard so i listen to the audiobooks (this version read by Simon Jarvis) and it turns the experience from one of a chore into a beautiful experience.
