Martin Chuzzlewit by Charles Dickens

Martin Chuzzlewit  by Charles Dickens

This is a good book, but it isn't Dickens' best, so unless you're a fan of his work, it probably isn't one you want to read.  (If you're a first timer, try David Copperfield or A Tale of Two Cities.)  If you already know you can effectively deal with Dickens' descriptions and wordiness, then go ahead and try Chuzzlewit.  It's fairly typical Dickens, since it is the story of a young man and how his life goes.  Dickens apparently thought it was his best book, so I guess I disagree with him!
