Started reading this what.... two weeks ago? Only about three hundred pages in. I can say honestly that it is not a BAD book per-say... but it is definitely written for someone who likes many small details.
The first section of the book is mostly based on the child abuse David suffers form his stepfather and step aunt. Child abuse 1800's style. If this is really a mirror of Charles Dickens life I almost feel bad for the guy, save for the fact that he is now famous and probably made quiet a bit of money in his day for his publications.
Looking forward to finishing it just to say I did.
