Part of me wonders if I am just looking at it with my modern eyes and I want resolution much faster but at the same time there were parts where I was just really lost. I did feel for the characters though. (  ) Zommbie1 | Dec 12, 2009 |  Definitely not been my favorite of Dickens' books. It is very hard to stay with it in some parts as characters are abruptly abandoned for a time and more and more and more characters appear. It is a long book and not in a good way.I think the best way to approach this book would be with a dialectical journal to keep the immense character list straight. Many people seem to consider this to be the best of the Dickens' novels, but I completely disagree. hazysaffron | Aug 6, 2009 | The complexities of English Law, the Chancery, the preoccupation of Ada Clare and Richard Carstone with the receipt of their 'inheritance, the forgiving warmness of John Jarndice....in short the characters are magnificent. The Masterpiece DVD of Bleak House is faithful to the book and very helpful in visualizing the rather rambling nature of this lengthy epic. tedmag | Jul 30, 2009 | Masterpiece! (  ) charlie68 | Jul 15, 2009 | By far the most entertaining of Charles Dickens' works, this mystery details the life of Hester and the unfair justice system of Victorian London.
