[Marcelo Toledo · Rating 5 out of 5]

Mais um ótimo resumo da obra de Dickens, muito interessante, como ainda não havia lido, agora, é passar para obra completa, já que eu entendo que essa coleção está sendo muito útil para conhecer uma ideia da obra, e facilitar a vida dos jovens que podem ter a oportunidade de começar a conhecer essas obras de uma forma mais simplificada.

Pretty violent, emotional and great content

[LaDonna Harris · Rating 3 out of 5]

Book club read. Couldn't do the original version so I cheated. I'm sure an abridged version might work too as this was very very simplified. But I have the gist of the story

[Kim · Rating 5 out of 5]

Quite serious, dark and complicated story, but makes us think a lot. I would love to read the full version of this sometimes.
