Critic reviews

"With a cast of characters that covers the whole spectrum of London life, Dickens weaves a tapestry of tales that are by turn funny, moving and tragic." (School Library Journal)
"The fact that Dickens is always thought of as a caricaturist, although he was constantly trying to be something else, is perhaps the surest mark of his genius." (George Orwell)

It's a pity that nobody at the time of writing suggested to Dickens that he edit this novel. For though a well conceived story, it is overwritten.
David Timson makes a great job of narration.

Great narration of Dickens classic

David Timson telling has brought this, one of my favourite Dickens novels, to life. I would have no hesitation in recommending this telling above all others. Thank you Mr Timson.

oh I loved this! brilliantly narrated, every character fabulously portrayed. Pity it had to end, I was enjoying it so much. it's hard to believe that this was written so long ago, socially still resonates with today's society. What a remarkable study of the human race in general, at it's worst and at its best. Fabulous, love you Mr Dickens!

Dickens at his best!
