Cons: L-O-N-G. As another reviewer stated, if Dickens can say it in 10 words, he'll go with 50.
Pros: Strong character development, suspenseful story, interesting social commentary, the Oxford World Classic edition offers a bunch of educational commentary - so, I read it and learned about the laws Dickens didn't care for, the relationship between himself and the illustrator, etc. ... more

A great reading but the sixteen discs are not labeled as to chapters on the disc nor are there any liner notes. You must play the disc and wait for the chapter to be mentioned during the reading. I do not see why they would have left these necessary conveniences out. Very inconvenient... more

A little known book in the vast collection of his writings, but probably... more
