Title: Way Too Descriptive
Review: The plot line was good and had plenty of twists, but the way it was written was horrible. There was way too much description for the stupidest things. I know, it is interesting to know how the characters look, and this book does do that. But, his comparisons were drawn out and boring! Dickens would be writing about Oliver's trip to the country with Rose and Mrs. Maylie, but he would end up talking about angels in heaven and how their cheeks were a similar shade as that of a kind of flower. I mean, this is a very creative way of describing a flower, but that is not the point of the story! And when that description occupies two or three pages, the reader becomes a little discouraged(not to mention bored!!!!) I've read David Copperfield though, and Charles Dickens' writing style seemed to have evolved into something much more tolerable. Unless you are easily amused, I don't reccomend this book for anyone under the age of about 17.
Is the review positive or negative?
