Bleak House by Charles Dickens

Bleak House is considered Dicken's best work. But this book was too tough for me. There are so many characters in this story. Somewhere I lost the track of the characters. However, if you give this book more time and patience to read all the details and keep track of the characters, you'll probably enjoy this. Regretfully, I didn't have enough patience to give this book more time.
And I am bored to death with it. Bored to death with this place, bored to death with my life, bored to death with myself.

Decent.

Adina (notifications back, log out, clear cache) How is it so far? I think I will start this one in June, I have another big book planned the following months.


oyshik Adina,
I think I'll be able to finish this book tomorrow. But sadly, I am not enjoying this book as much as I expected. I'm still hoping the ending will change my mind.🤞🌸🌺💕


Michael Perkins He ties up a lot of loose ends.

Surely it is!!😊💕

Thank you, Lisa. Definitely ill watch it.😊🌸🌺💕

Kathryn Bashaar I read through the whole book, but I was sorry I did. A lot of people think it is Dickens' best work, but I think it is his worst. To me, it was just a 500-page lawyer grim lawyer joke.

yep, I don't understand why it's considered. I also didn't enjoy it.🤷‍♂️

Leo Didn't like it the first time I read it, been meaning to get back to it for a while to see if I like it better on a second try. Good review because now I'll wait until I can give it bit more time while reading it! 😅

Haha...I hope you enjoy this book when you read it. I need to muster my courage and patience to reread this book.😂👍


The Bibliophile Doctor To be frank I have read few works by Dickens and I do not like them much coz I do not see point for these hefty works
I will have to read few more to say if I like Dickens or not.
