The Old Curiosity Shop Audiobook (Unabridged)

" I really enjoyed this "old" classic. Read it on Kindle so vocabulary was easy to keep up with. But in most cases, my gut feeling on a word was correct. "

" Very, very sentimental - even for Dickens. "

" Another great Old Style read...but then, I haven't met a Dickens' book I didn't love - oh, wait! There was that book he didn't finish before he died, and then someone decided they should screw it up and try to make us think, "Oh, yeah, this sounds like Dickens!" Not! "

" My favorite Dickens book. I know alot of the other ones garner more accolades but seriously this is the true spirit of Dickens. "

" Overall, I liked this book but like many others who have read it, found it slow and difficult to get into. The characters were fun and I really came to hate Quilp. The ending related to Nell was abrupt and very sad. "

" I know this is a classic book but honestly I couldn't get into it and it kept putting me to sleep. "

" This is the second book by Dickens that I have read, and although less well known, is a very good story. There were a few times in this story that I felt dragged on a bit, but not distractingly so. Overall a wonderful read. "

" I don't know what to say about this book. It was boring as hell. A real slow page turner. I still got 3 or 4 more dickens books to read. I hope they don't turn out to be like this one. "

" I've tried a few of Dickens books previously & found them too dry. This was not; the characters were relatable & I genuinely enjoyed it. "

" Have to accept that the sentences are extra long by current standards, but otherwise, an outstanding reading experience. "

" I thoroughly enjoyed this, my second dickens novel! A genuinely pleasurable read! "

" Mr Dickens does it again. This man is truly a master of characterisation. By the end of the story, I felt I knew the characters so well that I could invite them to dinner and predict what they would do and say. It was a pleasure to immerse myself in this book. "

" I read this when we first moved here to fight off the homesickness. It is classic Dickens and I lived in it for the time I was reading it. Dickens is an amazing storyteller. "

" Not the very best Dickens but Dicken's second rank is in the top two hundred novels ever written. "

" A strange Dickens & one of my favorite Dickens. There's a lamp store on 8th Avenue in the 40s in Manhattan & EVERY time I pass it, especially at night, I think of this book. I really loved this one. "

" bu antikaci dükkani diye çevrilmisti galiba... "

" Not sure if it's because I had a lot going on, but this book seemed to take a lifetime to finish. "

" Reading for book club. I've never read Dickens and am surprised that it's not as unyieldingly dour as I anticipated. I'm enjoying it. "

" I'm finding the story a bit too intense, between Quilp's abuse of his wife and grandfather's neglect of Nell. Pretty dour. "

" The story was great, the characters loveable or truly villainous. However saying that this story was the toughest to say with out of the entire Dickens I have read or reread in the last year. A bit too Dickens so it is predictable and didn’t have the clever twist in it. "

" This is one of my favorite Dickens, and many people have never heard of it. It is the story of a grandfather who truly wants what's best for his granddaughter, but he is addicted to gambling. I loved the characters. "

" I had never read this Dickens classic about Little Nell who journeys with her old grandfather to escape the evil men who are searching for him. It's the usual florid Dickens prose with lots of serindipitious coincidences. "

" I must admit, I could not finish the whole book! There was so much nonesense and description, once you waded through it, you had to go back and see what they were talking about in the first place. I guess I am not meant for such culture! "

" Bucket list! My first Dickens novel begun and finished,(besides "A Christmas Carol." "

" Angel in the house hits the road and doesn't come back no more. "

" An interesting tear jerker. Rather typical Dickens. "

" A strange Dickens & one of my favorite Dickens. There's a lamp store on 8th Avenue in the 40s in Manhattan & EVERY time I pass it, especially at night, I think of this book. I really loved this one. "

" One of only two of Dickens' books (the other being Oliver Twist) which has made me cry like a baby. "
