Customer Reviews
Lousy Binding
I've read all but "A Christmas Carol" in this edition. I've found several typos. Moreover, the binding is becoming unglued. I estimate by the time I finish "A Christmas Carol" the binding will be totally exposed. I value permanent books (otherwise I would buy paperbacks). I suggest anyone who enjoys Dickens buy a better edition.
Dickens the master storyteller
Reading Dickens somehow unburdens your soul. Every character that he presents is a work of genius crafted with meticulous detail and intricately woven into a complex plot. This volume contains two of the best books of literature ie 'Great Expectations' and 'A tale of two Cities'.'Hard Times' and 'A Christmas Carol' are also enjoyable reads.For the price tis a delight to have.
Great books........Come on Frank
I can't believe what Frank said, you shouldn't listen to him. All of these books rank in the top 20 books of all time. His style that he puts forth in all the novels is of Victorian, so you have to be ready to be in for a little challenge. And unless you are braindead all of these novels should move you. Frank doesn't make sense, especially when he said that " I like books that move me" and then he gave us a look at good books. One of them was "Dreamcather" by Stephen King. Now, Frank, how in the world did that book move you?? Anyways, all of these books are classics, and very well written. And some of them seem a bit outdated because they have been cliched thousands of times. But like the saying goes, 'There aint nothing like the real thing."
