This is definitely not my favorite Dickens' book. And I usually quite like Dickens! It took me more than a month to finish this book, and I am a fast reader. I would even venture to say it is one of his worst books.
Little Dorrit doesn't have enough plot to support the story, and quite often seems rather dull. It does have some excellently eccentric characters to liven things up in typical Dickens fashion, but not as many as would usually populate one of his books of this length.
This book takes forever and is definitely not worth the time. Read David Copperfield instead!
