"Decent story, but too long. The criticism of bureacracy and high Victorian society is scathing and illuminating, but an 800 page novel can't rely on satire alone, however witty. Some of the satire just feels like overkill(thinking specifically of all of the hoopla surrounding the princely Mr. Merdle and Society). The psychological study of the Dorrit family -- from William and Edward's denial to Fanny's aggression to Uncle's quiet dignity -- was perhaps the most valuable part. William Dorrit's character itself was fascinating. Frustrating, to be sure, but Dickens really handled him expertly, showing how a man accustomed to nobility will grasp at the flimsiest of straws even in the face of a quite disparate reality. The scene at the Marshalsea when they have gained their fortune and Tip comes in accusing Clennam of ungentlemanly conduct for not lending him money was fantastic -- it left me cringing in outrage. But there is a lot of truth in those characters' rationalizations.

It was refreshing, after Hard Times to read a Dickens book with some emotionally appealing characters. Unfortunately, in his return to a novel of Bleak House proportions, Dickens isn't able to sustain the narrative over the story's entirety. The book really bogs down about midway through, after picking up a lot of steam by the end of Book I. It struggles to regain momentum, even at the climax, and it left me frustrated at the long, aimless descriptions not only of different setpieces, but of the tedious Society. That said, the characters -- particularly Arthur, Little Dorrit, the Italian, and Pancks -- are some of the most memorable I have read lately, and the first two some of the most emotionally impactful. They were honorable to a fault, even sacrificing their own egos when they had every justification to defend them. There were other characters, like Flora, that were just annoying. I got the point after Clennam's first meeting that she was a prattler. After that, I pretty much skipped everything she said and was none the worse for it. Overall, I wish Dickens had spent more time with the Arthurs and Amys, and less time with the Floras, Merdles, Gowans and Wades."

"Once in a while as you read this book you may find yourself humming, "The girl that I marry a doll I can carry must be." But if you can get over the impossibly selfless and diminutive heroine (Dickens's idea of the ideal woman was apparently the woman who could almost make herself disappear), this novel is splendid. The style is dazzling, the characters unforgettable, the humor side-splitting. (Yes, there's humor, though in general it's not one of Dickens's merrier reads.) The usual Dickensian sentimentality, of course, and the usual two-dimensional villain, and one chapter near the end that is practically operatic in its screeching melodrama -- but that all said, it's still a wonderful book."

By Karen, Draper, UT

"I just absolutely loved this book. Dickens is so fabulous that it is hard to read another book. Along with Shakespeare, they are the greatest writers of all time. No one compares.

Little Dorrit takes place in London in the late 19th century. Her father was in debt, and at that time if you were a debtor, you were sent to a debtor's prison. The family was there as well. Little Dorrit was born in the prison and shortly after her mother died. After some history, the book basically starts when she is 22 years old. She still lives in the prison, but leaves during the day to work and return at night to care for her father. She is extremely caring and forgiving and you immediately love her character. She eventually meets a gentleman, Mr. Clennam and they become good friends.

The book is a satire of the way governments can become mechanized to the point of not caring for its people: the plight of the debtors as well as the poor. The book also stresses the abusive way in which the poor were treated by the rich during this time period. In some ways, we have changed since then, but in a lot of ways we have not (I kept thinking of Bernard Madoff during one part of the book). It touches on many personal aspects as well: love, romance, jeolousy, envy, and greed.

The book was 844 pages, but I wanted more. Dickens was said to have become despondent over the fact that the British had become selfish and insular. When I read this about him, I thought of "A Christmas Carol".

A must read. It's old English, but stick with. It grows on you and anything else does not compare."

"It had been so long since I'd read Dickens that I had forgotten how great he was. This novel portrays a crowd of characters surrounding Little Dorrit, a shy young woman who grew up in debtor's prison. I began reading this after watching and loving a Masterpiece Theater production of the book. The original is insightful, funny, satirical and amazingly fresh. A very long novel but a wonderful read."
