• The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby (Tantor Unabridged Classics)

  
  Book Critic — Authority: 141
  I read criticisms of this book that it is not one of Dickens’ best. For me, it is up there with Great Expectations and David Copperfield as one of his most enjoyable novels (A Christmas Carol is a short story). The social axe that Dickens had to grind in this story is man’s injustice to children. Modern readers my ...

• Review: Charles Dickens: A Life by Claire Tomalin

  
  Tolstoy is my Cat — Authority: 100
  The world is a veritable Dickens-fest at the moment, and there is zero point in fighting it. Actually, I wouldnt, because Im quite enjoying it, not least (smug) for the number of people around me who are happy to rhapsodise on the importance of Dickens whilst having never read a word of it: I know for a fact that ...

  Everybody Means Something — Authority: 94
  Dickens at his Desk Sometimes ideas that move my thoughts along come totally unexpectedly. I recently read a review of a book on willpower by Baumeister and Tierney and bought it on impulse so I  obviously needed to read it. I expected it to shed some light on personal change of the kind I’d come across in ...

• Into Russian Territory

  
  Poetikat's Invisible Keepsakes (version 2) — Authority: 107
  Fathers and Sons by Ivan Turgenev My rating: 5 of 5 stars This was my first read of a Russian novel. What a wonderful book! Because there are so many scenes where there occurs a dialogue between two characters only, it often reads like a play - George Bernard Shaw, perhaps. On the other hand, the depiction of ...

• A Tale of Two Cities - Charles Dickens

  
  Into the Book — Authority: 101
  A Tale of Two Cities is not exactly an excellent book to pick up after a long absence. It’s a little difficult to follow and moves a little slower than “modern” books, but don’t let that detract you from this book at all. It has earned its place as one of my favorite Dickens novels yet. The year is 1775. ...

• A Tale of Two Cities

  
  Book Critic — Authority: 141
  The more Dickens I read, the more impressed I become at his skill as a writer. No matter the form, be it short, long, or a monolith like some of his best works, Dickens excels at changing his style of characterization and plot to fit whatever mode he writes in. "A Tale of Two Cities" is one of his shorter novels, and ...

• Great Expectations: Value-Priced Edition

  
  Book Critic — Authority: 141
  Another reviewer claims that you have to be at least 21 years old to read this book. Although I don’t think it should be “forced” on schoolchildren (they will only hate it) I read this novel when I was a child and I loved it. I have just re-read it now and I enjoy it all the more. This is my favorite novel by ...
