I LOOK forward to further "classic" reviews. I'm more of a detective/mystery fan but I read genres randomly. I do read several classics yearly to be balanced though.

[@thebookworm6554]

What about a classic detective story? Which is what I just started reading yesterday (and no, it's not Sherlock Holmes).

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie is one you should read

[@jstrange1]

@@jeffreykaufmann2867 I THINK I have but I will reread it. Thanks.

I now want to read this book. I enjoyed great expectations but it is a little slow in the middle and doesnt have the humor this one seems to have. However, if you like good characters, this book has them

[@minnie2410]

I love your review (and the book!), I wish I would have found your words when I tried to sum it up 😅 You're absolutely right on feeling for and with the characters, you just want them to be happy and when they are it's the most heartwarming feeling... but when they're not 😭 Have you read any other Dickens novels, besides "Oliver Twist" and "Bleak House"?

[@liveone11]

Ma’am, your accent is to die for.

[@PauliePizza]

I'm on page 135 on Bleak House and am struggling with this book but I have to much time invested to quit now. David Copperfield is next for me. Thanks for the review. Happy reading🙂

Good luck!

@@thebookworm6554 David Copperfield is the most boring Dickens Novel. Great Expectations, Little Doritt, Dombey and Son are much better. I didn't read Bleak House but the TV Mini Series was Excellent.

If you are interested in reading classic novels you could try what I am doing I decided to read the 100 greatest English novels as picked by The Guardian newspaper the list is easy to find online. The first few books particularly Pilgrims Progress were a real struggle but as they advance chronologically I have found them easier and more enjoyable. I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy both Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights. I tend to alternate them with more modern easy to read books Stephen King etc. happy reading 😀

[@thebookworm6554]

I will give it a try, thanks!

Can you do a review on the book the boy who fell from the stars? By James twine

[@gregoryross.303]

I am enjoying your video. I am a Dickens fan, and could not get into reading Bleak House, it's not an easy or interesting read. I had to drop it after one chapter. Too bad that it was your first Dickens experience. Yuk. Great Expectations, Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, and Little Dorrit are, however, all top-notch Dickens novels, good reading, all of which I have read at least twice, and watched their movie adaptations in recently made excellent BBC movies of the books. Dickens novels are mostly a rehash of his own childhood, where when his father was thrown into Debtor's prison in Newgate, London, Charles as a young boy had to go into a filthy blacking factory and work with the poorest wretches of the city in appalling conditions, to keep his family fed. Dickens was a genius at characterization, and plot, and that's why we still love and still reprint his writing, and make new movies of his novels, almost 200 years after he died. You would like Great Expectations, Oliver Twist, and Little Dorrit (850 pages !!!!).

Thanks! Great Expectations was fantastic as well!
