Reviews
This, to date, is my least favorite Dickens novel (I only have 2 more to go to have read them all). Many of his books take a good while to have the story lines come together, for something to "happen." This one took nearly the entire length! It was a struggle to get through the endless pages of scenery descriptions and nonsensical monologues, which I often plowed through on the assumption that they would turn out to offer a clue or some other purpose, and which mostly turned out to be nothing but Dickens exercising his knack for description and dialog, to amuse himself. The scenes that took place in America were interesting for their insight into what the U.S. looked like in those days, especially to a foreigner (it looked mostly ridiculous!). Other than that, this novel was tedious.
