Bulwer-Lytton to Dickens | A Guide to Victorian Authors

I also do think his noela of Christmas Carol isn't a bad place to start with his books either because very short you probably know the story really delightfully christmy and it's a really good example of writing style

then in the kind of middle section for me would be a rogue's life the Dead secret and no name which I thought were kind of decent but not the best

I really liked it I don't think it's a bad place to start with her work at all

I've read two other novels by her John Halifax gentleman from 1856 and a noble life from 1866 both of which I really liked but not as much as Olive

I really enjoyed both of these books and they are good fun nonsense that are oddly dark in places

my top four would be the woman in white at number four Armadale at number three man and wife at number two and the Moonstone at number one

the books by him that I don't like very much are the two Destinies Basel and hideand-seek

my favorite five Dickens novels and would be number five Great Expectations number four Bleak House

if you want to know where to start with Charles Dickens then I would say good place to start would either be Great Expectations or David Copperfield

my favorite five Dickens novels and would be number five Great Expectations number four Bleak House number three little dorett number two D and Son

in general I just found it a very interesting read but not necessarily that much have been an enjoyable read

my favorite five Dickens novels and would be number five Great Expectations

the books by him that I don't like very much are the two Destinies Basel and hideand-seek

take my recommendation of jebel's daughter with a pinch of salt cuz I haven't yet finished it but I feel like those books they're less impressive and exciting than something like the Moonstone or man and wife or Armadale but they are a lot shorter and therefore might feel a bit more approachable

I love man and wife I think it's fantastic and once it gets going it is so good and so tense but it has a quite long lengthy prologue

night and morning is a really great book and a pretty decent place to start with b Litton like it's very accessible

then in the kind of middle section for me would be a rogue's life the Dead secret and no name which I thought were kind of decent but not the best

this book is a sort of wonderful Coming of Age story building's Roman you know in the style of something like Jane air or David Copperfield but it also deals with the Prejudice that Olive faces and just a wonderful novel

I've read extracts from On the Origin of Species and I also read quite a lot of extracts from his letters when I was studying Victorian history at University which was really fascinating

number one I'll meet your friend my favorite book ever

then I really liked the Lord and the lady and poor Miss Finch

my general feeling about the carile that I've read is that it was really interesting to read from a historical perspective but not from another perspective really

then I really liked the Lord and the lady and poor Miss Finch

I do think it's his best I love it I think it's fantastic and I also think it gets into the story faster than some of his other amazing books

I found the woman who did really interesting but I didn't love everything about it

my top four would be the woman in white at number four Armadale at number three man and wife at number two and the Moonstone at number one

then in the kind of middle section for me would be a rogue's life the Dead secret and no name which I thought were kind of decent but not the best

the books by him that I don't like very much are the two Destinies Basel and hideand-seek with the two Destinies being my least favorite by quite a long way

I really enjoyed both of these books and they are good fun nonsense that are oddly dark in places

this is a collection of ghost stories that I really liked but I don't remember them well and I read them quite a few years ago
