The Pickwick Papers, Volume 2 Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Some of the stories were funny, others were sad and disturbing. Overall, it was enjoyable reading for a class. "

" This book is one of my favorites. I've read it many times, and it still makes me laugh out loud. The characters are so lovable or such villains, and many make surprise repeat visits throughout the book. I love Dickens' style, and this book showcases his abilities for me. "

" I busted my butt to finish this book. It had Dickens's charm and humor, but no plot impetus to push through to the end. "

" His first major novel, not only for the humour but the social comment and satire "

" this one was challenging in a way that is unfamiliar and unwelcome to me when reading dickens... had the sense perpetually of trying to stay hooked. hmm. "

" All of Dickens' humor is here, right here. "

" Not as good as I'd hoped it would be. Some of the main characters are not sufficiently distinguishable. I think one can tell that this is a very early Dickens. "

" A long good, funny read. This was the book that required me to get reading glasses "

" This was the only Dickens that I didn't really like. It was long and pointless. "

" Droll and boring. The lack of plot and really stupid jokes do not make up for these hours wasted in my life. This gets two stars and not one because I feel like I have a Stokholm-esque affection for my abuser. "

" Rambling but quite a collection of stories and glimpses into early Victorian life. "

" Very funny. Love the sarcastic humor. His first book and not a dark topic as some of the later ones. "

" I'd been avoiding this for ages thinking it would be tedious, but found it to be not so at all. The vingettes are hilarious. Pickwick and co are along the lines of Mole, Ratty, and Toad. Delightful! (BTW, I listened to it and that was great fun too.) "

" Adventures, Excitement. "

" Love this book! Been reading over a long time period, but it is written in such a way that you can just pick up and read another installment. Classic Dickens --fantastic colorful characters who get in interesting situations. I've laughed out loud many times in this book. "

" Haven't read for twenty years - must re-read soon "

" I would bump this to 3.5 stars instead of just 3. These are standard issue Dickens characters with predictable Dickens troubles, and therein lies the charm. Totally delightful with gentle humor throughout. Check your angst at the door; this is just terrific entertainment. "

" Read this aloud to Lucinda. I have previously read Pickwick Papers 3-4 times. As with every Dickens novel, as I am reading it I think it is the best book he wrote. "

" why was Sam so smart? kill him! Mr. Pickwick "

" Tragedy tomorrow, comedy tonight. "

" My favourite of Dickens and that is saying MUCH. "

" Great Narrative and a wonderful concept. "

" My all time favorite book!!! Ingenious! "

" I read through DailyLit emails, a great way to read or re-read the classics. "

" I hate Dickens, and have always had a serious dislike for this book. Wrote a paper on it even. Boring. "

" What a book! What an ending! "

" need a lot of vocab skill to understand this book.. for me of course. but after all, it's gorgeous! "

" One of my faves, read many many times. "
