Great Expectations is Dicken's best!

I almost chose A Tale of Two Cities based entirely on the hotness that is Sydney Carton, but in the end Bleak House is so excellent from beginning to end that it won my heart (and my vote).
Little Dorrit should be added to the list.
I recently read A Tale of Two Cities again and literally (pun) got chills when Madam DeFarge was introduced. What a beautiful story!
I voted for Bleak House, but if Dombey and Son had been on there it would have been a tough choice for me.
I agree that Little Dorrit should be added. I wouldn't have voted it #1, but it would be in my top 5 easily. And let us not look over also Dicken's detour into historical fiction with his least appreciated (but nonetheless excellent) tome, Barnaby Rudge.
I liked Little Dorrit and David Copperfield the best. They are both more uplifting than most of Dickens's novels.
It's true, you have to add Dombey & Son. It doesn't seem to get much exposure, but is really good. I picked David Copperfield because I was more involved in David's development than in Pip's in Great Expectations which is almost a tie. GE is a much more modern book of character development than DC, but I just loved D as a person more. Oh, well.
Actually I liked Dombey and Son best. So voting is no option.
I've got a soft spot for Oliver Twist, I was in the musical in school in 7th grade. I played a workhouse brat!
I read and reread all his books in my childhood and I can say I love them all. Which is the best? All are great1
There is in my heart of hearts a favorite child, and his name is David Copperfield.
I chose Oliver Twist..But I love great expectations. I like David Copperfield too..Had a real hard time choosing..Dickens' classics are real good!
Oliver Twist was my favorite and first Dickens so I had to go with that one!
a tale of two cities and david copperfield
Nicholas Nickelby was the first one I read so it's kind of my favorite
I love Sydney Carton!I feel sad every time He goes to his death.I guess secondly I would choose 'Bleak House'
Although my first book read for dickens was Great Expectations, I voted for Bleak House for it is my favorite and it will always be!!
Little dorrit and Dombey and Son, both have sad tales about young women
A Tale of Two Cities .Hard Times, David Copperfield , and Barnaby Rudge.
That is the hardest decision. I love a lot of his works.
I grieve for Dombey and Son being at the bottom. I absolutely adored that book. Maybe because it is the least well-known??
