Great Expectations - Charles Dickens:
... novel was one of Dickens serialised works. He would write one or two chapters at a time which would then appear in the press. The novel took little under a year to complete. The narrator is Pip (Phillip Pirrip), whom is orphaned at a young age and taken in by his uncaring and abusive sister, Mrs Joe and her kind husband, Joe the blacksmith. The story opens on Christmas Eve 1812 (when Pip is aged 7) on the barr... Read the full review: Lives Up To Expectation by Tulahoob |

Bleak House - Charles Dickens ... the outside, Bleak House is nothing if not a daunting prospect - my copy was over 800 pages of dusty mid-1800s prose. Even with the benefit of having watched the TV series and so beginning with a reasonable knowledge of plot and characters, I was still expecting the read to be more a trudge than a thrill ride. It caught me by surprise, therefore, how good this book turned out to be. To begin with, the characterisation was expectional - sympathetic characters such as Esther and Ada, coupled with comedic characters such as Miss Flite and a truly despicable pantomime villian in Mr Tulkinghorn. Along with these traditional character types, Dickens also includes some mor... Read the full review: Bleak House? Bleak, perhaps - but worth the effort! by silverbird44 |

A Christmas Carol - Charles Dickens ... My Landmark Texts module of my English degree course once of the books I have to read is Charles Dickens a Christmas Carol. Now although I know this story exceptionally well I must admit that until last week I had never read the book. The story is primarily a ghost story, as it was traditional to tell such stories on the Eve of Christmas. Dickens himself views the story as a ghostly little book and wishes that it might haunt the reader s houses pleasantly. The story begins with the line that is remembered by most "Marley was dead, to begin with" and then progresses to make us certain that Marley was dead. Once this point has been made the book procee... Read the full review: A Ghostly little book by MI9to5 |

Great Expectations - Charles Dickens ... brilliant read I especially found chapter one to be very vivid - thus my review is based upon that. The initial chapter is set in a churchyard of graves in the flat Essex marshes, through Pips narration we can envision the bleak threatening landscape. He uses a stream of negative adjectives such as "bleak", "dark" and "leaden" to portray how threatening the landscape is to him. The phrase "...dead and buried" details how the graveyard is inhabited by the dead meaning Pip feels isolated and alone. Pip depicts his location within a long periodic sentence of sixteen clauses, frequently punctuated with "and that". The phrase... Read the full review: Charles does it again! by cricketfan1 |
