Review:
"Dickens's most mature meditation on the ethics of capitalism is haunted by ambivalent images of railroads, progress and death" (Guardian)
"Dickens' sentences, his bold, sentimental outcries addressed to the reader and his marvelously imagistic descriptions, are a part of the magical world that assaults and seduces any reader" (Chicago Tribune)
"A thoroughly gripping affair...Guaranteed laughs, guaranteed tears" (Daily Mail)
"'There's no writing against such power as this-one has no chance'" (William Makepeace Thackeray)
"Nothing seems more quintessentially British than Charles Dickens" (The Times)
