I really need to read more Dickens. I hated Great Expectations in high school but when I reread it as an adult I found that while I still didn't like the story I did really love his writing style. This sounds like a great one to try next and perfect to start getting in the mood for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI feel like Dickens is something best appreciated when older - as in your case you found you liked the writing style. There are so many stories out there by Dickens, I hope you can find one that you enjoy! It's definitely getting me in the festive mood!
DeleteI've never read Dickens- isn't that awful? This looks like a good pick for the approaching holiday season though... :)
ReplyDeleteI think many people haven't - I was rather daunted by his works for a really long time!
DeleteYes, it's great. I've picked it up now though as its quite chunky and so will take me a while to complete! Fingers crossed I'll have it finished by Christmas :-P
I only finally read A Christmas Carol last year for the first time. I'm curious to hear your thoughts on his other Christmas stories!
ReplyDeleteI'm finding that I'm getting through the book at a slow pace, however very much enjoying the writing.
DeleteThat book is so cute!
ReplyDeleteI know, right?!
