"Really really over-rated rubbish, like a cheap copy of Anna Karenina, not worth the paper its printed on to be honest. Almost (but not as quite as) trashy as Austen!"
"Because of the hype surrounding Dickens, one certainly has great expectations when beginning to read this novel, but they are sorely unjustified. Not a single likeable character in the entire book."
"With Dickens, I guess you either love him or hate him, I definitely fall into the second category. This book is full of the most ludicrous, non realistic characters imaginable."
