Review Detail

Reader reviewed by abscae

This book is what I might call a true classic. I read it for English class, but while other kids (well some) continued to groan about how long and boring it got, I learned to look for the best parts of it. Because I read it from a truly literary standpoint, I was not reading for what I enjoy in a book, but for the more literary devices and elements used in this book. Thus, my intake of the book would be far different that one who read it for fun.

Charles Dickens writes with a very eloquent style, and the best part of this book I liked was how deep the writing could get. It was so cool how many layers of the writing you could dissect and what you could draw from it.

Overall, this was a fantastic read. Not only is it a great way to expand your vocab, but you can also get to really appreciate the views and concepts it offers.
