Pretty meh so far. Characters are just as lively as ever, but often the book feels like it could do without Dicken's own voice intruding - there's a cynicism that almost feels snide in its commentary. And bloody hell, imagine marrying your daughter off to a man twenty years older as though that's going to be "good" for here.

"The whelp went home, and went to bed. If he had had any sense of what he had done that night, and had been less of a whelp and more of a brother, he might have gone down to the ill-smelling river [and] gone to bed in it for good, and have curtained his head for ever with its filthy waters."
- P.169, last paragraph of 'The Whelp'
This is Dickens talking about one of his own creations. Disturbing.
