“I’ve Always Meant to Read That Book!” Challenge: Bleak House by Charles Dickens

bleakhouse

I have a huge confession and apology – I have not finished Bleak House yet. To be honest, this book is killing me! I still have a couple hundred pages to go, and hope to finish it within the next week. I am not loving it like I loved Great Expectations and A Tale of Two Cities, and I find all the different plot threads a bit confusing. I love Esther’s story, and keep wishing I could just get back to what’s happening to her. I will persevere, however – this book will not win!

If you have been more faithful than I and have finished Bleak House, please add the link to your review to the Mr. Linky. I am anxious to hear your thoughts.

    Have fun! I enjoyed it but I recommend you write down characters names and who they are because there are aplenty! And the BBC miniseries is great.

      Care – I’m almost finished, so it’s too late to take your suggestion. :( I’ll keep it in mind for the next classic chunkster!

    This book is huge and February is the shortest month of the year; it was a real push to finish on time! I loved this book though so it was easy to make myself sit down and read. I want to watch the BBC miniseries soon; it will be interesting to see what they leave in and out.
