A review by meowserly
Little Dorrit by Charles Dickens

4.0

The Barnacles and the Circumlocution Office about did me in with nonsensical prose that seemed to go on forever. Which is exactly what Dickens intended, I'm sure — an exact parallel in my being to the frustrations and anxiety that Arthur Clennam felt while dealing with those self-righteous fools. I'm ashamed to say that I did not have the fortitude of Arthur, so those blasted Barnacles played a shamefully large roll in it taking me three years (to the day) to read this otherwise perfectly lovely book.
