Description

THE COMPLETE CHARLES DICKENS NOVELS COLLECTION
“All his sixteen novels wonderfully presented for kindle. From Oliver Twist to David Copperfield, Dickens is perhaps the most influential writer of all time. Great stories by the master of the nineteenth century novel, and lovely to see them with the illustrations they were first published with. This is how you should read them on kindle.” Classic Fiction

Just so that you know the ISBN listed in the info is actually the ASIN number and it doesn't have 51,348 pages it's 51,348 kb.

 

I read The Old Curiosity Shop from this collection

 

It gives me enormous personal pleasure to read Charles Dickens because for a very long time I assumed that his writing was far too intellectual for the likes of me.  I read Oliver Twist and discovered that it's not!

 

I love The Old Curiosity Shop and plan to read it again some time in the future.  - with plenty to get my teeth into. Yes, it's wordy and Dickens does make many descriptions in much detail but it's just a case of getting used to it and then it's amazing! Towards the end I was getting cross if I was interrupted and during the day I looked forward to finding out what happened next.

 

To the story.  It's about an old man and his granddaughter and what befalls them as a result of his life. She is around 14 years old and he is in his eighties. The old man ran The Old Curiosity Shop until ......... but I don't want to spoil the story. It did bring me to tears in the third chapter from the end, I found it so moving, and that has never happened to me before. 

 

I'm glad that I read it, I will continue to read Dickens and I thoroughly recommend this.
