Dickens' prose is so rich and layered, but not in a way that feels too fluffy. For me, he never approaches bloat—although I've heard that accusation of his work many times before.
The story, however, is a little bumpy. The pacing gets a little too hitchy at times, but I'm enjoying some of the characters quite a bit. And the setting is incredibly compelling to me, someone fascinated by Victorian England.

Setting this one down until November to get into some more spooky, Halloween-y books!

A bit predictable so far, but I do enjoy Dickens' prose.

It shames me to say this is only my second Dickens novel, but I can already see that I'll be a fan of him given his beautiful prose and his wry humor.
