pickI had read that 'Dombey and Son' is one of Dickens' underrated works, and this seems to be true. Although its main theme is sad and quite repetitive, as well as this being unnecessarily long (like most of his works), it is vintage Dickens with his characteristic satire and Victorian ethos.

pickI finally finished this book yesterday at lunch. In spite of it taking me 8 months to finish, I really did enjoy it. It‘s divided into 7 segments, each looking at a bit of Dickens‘s life (childhood, marriage, charity, public readings, etc). It‘s a ‘warts and all‘ account, often showing his contradictory & hypocritical opinions regarding society and mores. If you know most of his work you may enjoy, if not you may be bored as so much is cited.

pickAnother tale where Dickens is too verbose. Had 300 pages been left on the cutting room floor this good story would have been great. His garrulousness made this a book too easy to put down. Pity, I did enjoy many of the characters and the story a great deal.
