I'm not sure this is a book you'd want to read from cover to cover. Personally I enjoy opening to a random page every so often and reading what I find there. All in all it's a beautifully bound and wonderful collection of all the best bits along with numerous examples of Dickens' satirical wit and brilliant characters.

Not so wicked, but an incredible array of characters. 14 Jan 2012
By Harry - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
A good reintroduction to Dickens in this year, the bi-centenary of his birth - although the title is a misnomer - there is much more to Dickens and this book than 'wicked wit'. Provides a brief background on his fascinating and controversial life as well as many extracts from his books and correspondence. A quick read that whets the appetite to revisit this great author and social reformer. Dickens was the master of producing great character driven tales - and so many of those characters are now embedded in our culture - Scrooge, Fagan, Twist - this little book brings to the fore many of those strange and wonderful character's memorable moments. A refreshing insight into many of Dickens' lesser known characters as well.
