Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"Dickens is huge--like the sky. Pick any page of Dickens and it's immediately recognizable as him, yet he might be doing social satire, or farce, or horror, or a psychological study of a murderer--or any combination of these." --Susannah Clarke, author, Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell
"The novel has everything: an absorbing melodrama, with a supporting cast of heroes, villains and eccentrics, set in a London where vast wealth and desperate poverty live cheek-by-jowl." --Times
