Nicholas Nickleby Audiobook

" Blast! I can't remember who anyone is... "

" This is the first dickens work I've read that I can remember. The story while engrossing played a minor character to the language and dialog which was addictive. I found myself thinking in dickens voice. Further, while I read in the 21st century, and it was at times difficult to relate to the hardships of the characters, dickens is somehow able to transcend time. i could even appreciate the humorous way in which he portrays mrs nicklby's over dramatized situations and interpretations of events. "

" I am a big fan of Dickens but I didn't really enjoy this story. I struggled to connect with the characters, although I did feel sorry for Smike. "

" Riotously funny novel set on the streets of 19th century London. I was living in London when I read it 20 years ago and it really brought the history of that wonderful city to life. A joy to read. "

" This one has that classic Dickens feel, but at the same time it has some refreshing nuances in store. "

" I am such a Dickens fan and this book is one of my favorite of his. Such a sweet story of redemption and love. The movie with Anne Hathaway does a wonderful job of giving this book justice. "

" In my opinion, you can never go wrong with Charles Dickens. "

" Fantastic sentences! Great characters. Nicholas shows what it is to be a good and honorable man in the face of evil challenges from Ralph Nickleby his Uncle. Some of the best actual writing I have ever read. "

" Reading this one again, this time to my kids. They picked it out at an old bookstore and asked me to...i was putty I'm their hands. It's one of the old original ones, I have to be very careful while reading it. "

" What is not to love about Nicholas Nickleby? Everything you love in normal Dickens, plus righteous fisticuffs. "

" It was a good story that made me want to keep reading. It was a bit wordy; Dickins must have been paid by the word. "

" I love Dickens, but at 831 pages, even this highly entertaining book was a little much. I will write more about it when I can find the time! "

" Probably my favorite Charles Dickens book so far. It was nice to have something end without too much sadness like his other books. I love following the everyday life, challenges and character development of Dicken's. "

" Charles Dickens is my all-time favorite author. Nicholas Nickleby and David Copperfield are my top two favorites. "

" Here's the trick to reading this book: Don't get bogged down in the details. Each chapter is a vignette, usually humorous. The second hint is to watch the 2002 movie version to get the overview. "

" Nicholas Nickleby is one of my favorite books because of the humor and the human element of good vs evil. And fortunately good does triumph in the end! "
