Rae Ells answers “A lot of reviewers have called this book...”

Ami asked this question about The Goldfinch:

A lot of reviewers have called this book "Dickensian." What is it about The Goldfinch that reminds everyone of Charles Dickens so much?

Rae Ells My only thought on that is what a massive insult it is to Charles Dickens to compare his works to this pile of steaming refuse.
