So I started reading this book last night. I knew that I always loved Dickens, but I forgot why. Well it didn't take but 3 pages and I was hooked. I think I've actually read this book before because little snippets come back to me as I read. I love this FN book!
So it may sound stupid, but I love the way the characters sit by the fire and talk. They notice the weather and all sorts of fine details. All at once Dickens creates a world that is both happy and sad. The way Dickens describes the characters and places are so vivid and real that I have a whole world in my mind. I even imagine the what the characters sound like. He is truly a master.
