I found the review a little pedantic. Napoleon analogy a bit tedious. Too many negatives, ie. "not is best book but ..." "not perfect, but ...". Writer seems to be trying too hard to sound intellectual instead of trying hard to provide a useful, straightforward review. Also too many sidebars about Dickens' other books. Many people accessing this site are doing so simply because they have been assigned an essay on the book, not because they are Dickens' fans. The excess comparrisons to Dickens' other works and characters are likely to be meaningless and confusing to the average reader. Amongst the rhetoric however, is some otherwise good information and useful information. The review itslf improves in structure and form as it progresses. A succinct summation of the plot would be helpful. Miss Summerson deserves more than a minor mention, and a longer discussion of Jaryndice vs. Carstone would be helpful. Sorry, re-read this and it sounds overly critical. It is not meant to be hurtful, only useful because there is underneathe, a great deal of potential in this site.
