Review

This book is one of Charles Dickens best. The book has been adapted into a mini BBC series. The struggles of the characters teaches readers to be honest, have acceptance, and hard work. This is comical piece filled with drama and serious decisions. This is a hefty book with a woven plot line but a worthwhile read.
