Title: Starts out pretty good, but leaves you wishing it would just
Review: This books starts out fairly good and then picks up steam in its description of Dickens' youth. But somewhere near the middle it seems to get lost in endless facts which might be called useless. I personally don't care about every single item in Dickens business affairs. I would have personally rather seen more about public reactions to each novel and more discussion about the development of each novel. This would have been a pretty good book had the author cut it in half and perhaps titled it "Dickens: His Life Before 40".
