Little Dorrit, Part II
Charles Dickens
Classic
4 stars
398 pages
everything comes to an end. Fortunes are lost and gained. In the end, Rigaud dies, Clennam marries Little Dorrit and Doyce [his business parter] goes off to Europe to be wildly successful at inventing things. I think I really enjoyed this Dickens novel the best of all I’ve read so far. I just wanted to keep on reading and find out what happened. I can’t really point out what I liked more than in his other novels, but this is my favorite Dickens, to date.
Over 200 years in debtors prison?
Yikes.
That’s interesting that this is your favorite Dickens, as I have not even heard of it.
Happy Vacation!

It’s not as famous as some of his other works, but I think it is one of his strongest “Character” books.
I loved every second of it in ’08 and this time around, it’s still just as enjoyable…

Your favourite?! Wow! I’m surprised. But I guess I shouldn’t be. My favourite Dickens so far is Martin Chuzzlewit which is just as surprising. I don’t know why. Perhaps it was the mood I was in when I read it but the characters resonated with me more than Dickens characters usually do, as I often feel like I’m reading a cartoon. A Tale of Two Cities also has a special place in my reading-heart, only because it’s somewhat different writing from this master. In any case, I’m glad you enjoyed this one so much!

This time around, almost every dickens is my favorite, hahahahaa.
But Little Dorrit is definitely higher up, even this time around.
