“I saw the BBC production of it first and it was great. Then I read the book, and that was better. It's one of those books where you have to either read it twice or see the book and the movie. It's amazing!”
“Anyone who enjoyed Bleak House, and anyone who is looking to get motivated to read it, should check out the BBC TV miniseries that they made in 2005. I thought it was very well done.”
“I watched the BBC presentation of this a couple of weeks ago and it spurred me on to buy and read the book, despite my forebodings of unreadable text. To my surprise it's very readable and in fact I have trouble putting it down. I will definitely try more Dickens. ”
“I bought a beautiful hardback edition of B. H. almost a year and it taunts me from the shelf. I have a habit of reading multiple books at once, and I want to give this my full attention...soooon! I keep promising.”
“Finally gave up on reading Bleak House and threw away book! Then went to book store and bought a new copy of Bleak House which had bigger print and more pages. What a difference! Decided stuggles with the first book were more to print size and eye fatigue. Lesson learned. Book much easier to read! Hope to finish bleak house in next couple of days.”
“Just passed the half way point on this great book. Taking it a few pages at a time... Have not given up!”
“I haven't giving up on Bleak House- I've passed the 300 page point. Reading a few pages at a time. Instead of treating the book like a chore- I'm reading it like a treat. I did find a character list is most helpful. Funny that I am having such an issue getting thru this Dicken's Novel- I've read just about everything else with out issues. ”
“I am absolutely struggling with this book. It has taken me a month to get 168 pages. Only 632 more pages to go. I find myself re-read the same paragraphs over and over again. I've read most of Dickens other works and have not had these issues. This is my 3rd attempt. This time I watch the Masterpiece theater adaptation a couple of months ago to help me. I finding the book is becoming a chore. ”
