Review of 'Death and Mr Pickwick' on 'Storygraph'
5 stars
This book captivated me.
I feel like I understand the world and other people a little better now having read it.
If any of this applies to you, I recommend you read this book:
- You've enjoyed a book by Charles Dickens
- You're interested in what life was like around 1800 to 1850
- You're interested in the use of images with writing
- You're curious about how something becomes popular culture or goes "viral"
- You like good writing
Did you know that the Pickwick Papers was the most popular work of English fiction for about a hundred years? I didn't. And it turns out that there are fascinating stories behind it.
