Title: Long, Boring, and Tedious
Review: I really didn't like this book at all. I'm a classic literature reader, which is why I picked it up in the first place. It was my first Dickens novel, and I was so disappointed. To me, it seemed to be more about those darn criminals than anything. Judging from this book, I don't like Dickens' style of writing: too wordy, unclear, and imprecise. I swear, the guy could go on for pages talking about a piece of wood if he had to. I got so bored, the words just started slurring together after a while. However, its story about how a boy of poverty becomes rich in so many other aspects is quite touching. But the journey of getting to that point is LONG, BORING, and too TEDIOUS for me to stand. Possibly, if I were a boy, I could relate to this book more. I would, however, recommend this book to anyone who likes a drug-out mystery.
