“As is the case with most of Dickens’ novels, Nicholas Nickleby has a comprehensive cast of interesting characters with a web of interconnections; some obvious and some we do not discover until the end, for example, the connections between Ralph, Smike and Brooker.
I enjoy reading Dickens for the way he incorporates humour, for his complex, weaving plots, and the endless challenges and tragedies he presents for his characters. It is true that he does not like to concentrate much effort on his female characters, but that's overcome by the brilliance of his story-making.
It's a long read, but definitely worth every minute”
