Interestingly, this was the least enjoyable read I've had of Dickens so far. In retrospect it's not surprising for a couple of reasons. One, I already knew the basic outline of the story, leaving little room for surprise. And two, it's such a short book (in fact, it's a novella) that there isn't enough time for the intricate character development for which I love Charles Dickens.
Still, it's obviously a classic. A classic of classics, which I enjoyed reading during this holiday season.
Now I'm jumping back in sequential order to Oliver Twist, which I began just a few days ago.
