"Has much to recommend but could have been better as well. The book is not Dickens at his best, it has some very nice comic scenes, Quilp is one of Dickens' most memorable villains and personally I find Little Nell's death moving. It is however not as tight structurally and the overall narrative at times on the weak side. It is an interesting read, just not a great read. It's no Great Expectations, Oliver Twist, Nicholas Nickleby Our Mutual Friend and A Tale of Two Cities but it's not his absolute weakest, Barnaby Rudge while also interesting is Dickens' weakest book. ..."
