A review by aotora
Nicholas Nickleby, by Charles Dickens
4.0
This has been on my tbr pile for so long and I finally finally finally started reading/listening to it alongside reading a few weeks ago. I have no regrets. This was an amazing book- It was long, it was hard to read at times but it was an amazing book all the same.
The characters are interesting. The story is interesting and different. I loved reading about the schools and the things that were going on inside them, I loved Ralph as a villain and I loved Nicholas as a hero. And I love that Nicholas isn't perfect- he is still very much human despite being the protagonist and he still makes some very human mistakes.
The only thing that I didn't really like about the book was how many characters were introduced in the story because I often forgot who is who and I would have to trudge back through the chapters trying to find the point where that character was introduced and trying to figure out weather they are important or not or who precisely they are.
But other than that, the story is long but great, the characters are interesting and the big reveals and the grand finale was just so satisfying to read.
