Up to ch6. One of my favourite books, and I’m a sucker for a re-imagining. Credible start, and I like the relationship between Jack and Olivia.
Up to ch9. The alternating views is a great way of maintaining our interest. There’s enough details from the original to keep the story, but the extra parts really humanise our central characters.
Up to ch24. Loving how this is organised and presented. Desperately hoping for certain events to not take place.
Finished. Review on home page. Clever reimagining for those who know the original, but a great read for those unfamiliar with Dickens’ classic. Lots of familiar elements and well-paced. A little more historical detail might have wowed me, but definitely one to recommend.
