Can't catch on and don't understand any of it! He's speaking gobbledygook. I don't know whether it's just because I'm a 12 yr old or its a bad book. Also there's only 5 chapters, what on earth's a stave and finally all of his books have ridiculously long chapters! Please leave a comment if you can recommend an interesting dickens novel with short chapters I can read for my yr7 reading homework... Thank you for reading!

A simple tale that has more than withstood the test of time. Like most people, I have seen various productions of the story. Reading it, I have learned subtle nuances and character explanations I never knew before. Not too overly long but completely gets the points it is trying to express very clearly.

I decided to check if it was free. I love the book, but Google needs to stop frauds like these. 50 Rupees were taken out from my account as soon as I requested to buy this supposedly free ebook. I suggest Google get its bearings together. Disappointment maximus.

About the author
Charles Dickens was born in 1812 near Portsmouth where his father was a clerk in the navy pay office. The family moved to London in 1823, but their fortunes were severely impaired. Dickens was sent to work in a blacking-warehouse when his father was imprisoned for debt. Both experiences deeply affected the future novelist. In 1833, he began contributing stories to newspapers and magazines, and in 1836 started the serial publication of The Pickwick Papers. Thereafter, Dickens published his major novels over the course of the next twenty years, from Nicholas Nickleby to Little Dorrit. He also edited the journals Household Words and All the Year Round. Dickens died in June 1870.
