Old books rediscovered

I saw that an actor from Feat the Walking Dead tv series read this book as part of his building his character.
Always on the look out for books I have never heard of I gave this a try.
As a fan of Dickens I enjoyed the over elaborate descriptions of the world within this book.
Sadly there is a part which is repeated and spoiled, slightly, the enjoyment of the book.
Not as story driven as Dickens but it does cast a light on a bye gone world.
