The classics are always golden reads.
Dickens has carefully woven a beautiful story about a boy and the trials that he goes through just to get happiness.
The writing IS very lengthy and there were times where I had to reread some sentences to fully understand but I didn't really mind since the prose was gorgeous.
The characters are well planned. You can feel connected with the main characters and whenever something bad happens, the feelings of anger, despair and injustice are all there.
In Dickens times, this story was really a big awakening to the rich about the state of the poor. If anything, this is what stories should be like. A meaningful story that creates impact.
