I just love the romances in this novel, they feel so much 'more' than in many other Dickens works, if you know what I mean.<br /><br />I'm curious to hear what you would think of Trollope's works!Birdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09240886179336298463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2168521040936634641.post-78943770577984320832016-01-19T17:35:12.186+01:002016-01-19T17:35:12.186+01:00I <3 Our Mutual Friend so much.

Watching the miniseries definitely helped boost this book as my favourite Dickens novel, but it's a wonderfully complex and fascinating story on its own with some fantastic characters, not to mention my favourite Dickens character, Eugene Wrayburn :) Great review!<br /><br />On a side note, I've been meaning to read something by Anthony Trollope for <i>years</i>, lol xDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2168521040936634641.post-27554802880610919712015-08-06T03:27:05.127+02:002015-08-06T03:27:05.127+02:00I was leaning towards Great Expectations, actually...I was leaning towards Great Expectations, actually! I'll have to keep David Copperfield in mind too though. I remember liking an adaptation of that one too.

What is the next novel you plan to read?

I've got a slow start though, and so far have only read Little Dorrit and Nicholas Nickleby. I probably won't read this one next (haven't even seen the mini-series yet!) but this review makes me excited for when I do get around to it :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08901639281043602191noreply@blogger.com
