Reviewer: ListeninginChicago - 7/24/2009 14:32 Subject: Great way to "read" Dickens I have always thought it would be good to read Dickens. A friend recommended that I start with "Our Mutual Friend", but after several failed attempts, I finally decided to download it off of Librivox and instead try listening during my morning commute. What a joy! I especially appreciate how several readers made a point to read chapters centering around a common characters.

There were a few chapters were the quality of the reading, or the sound, was below par, but overall, it was an excellent introduction into the wonderfully drawn characters that make Dickens a master of British Literature. reads us through Mr. Boffin.
