I remember LOTS of characters, a slow plot, but overall liking it, even if it was darker than a lot of other Dickens.<br /><br />I ended up writing a paper on it for a second English class, and the prof was SO impressed I'd read it for the assignment. He had no idea it was a 2 birds w/ 1 stone situation. :DAnnette Lyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12493583432919249814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-81382507936992054322010-09-03T13:26:58.922-06:002010-09-03T13:26:58.922-06:00I totally forgot to even mention Richard and Ada. ...I totally forgot to even mention Richard and Ada. And the sadness of the poor/neglectful - it really is strange. I also felt pretty bad when reading about the poor little orphan boy who wasn't even fit to give testimony on the dead guy - how tragic!<br /><br />I'm finding it hard to keep up with the cast of characters. I read the bulk of stuff the last few days and am sure I've mixed stuff up.<br /><br />Healthcliff! Oh, you said to shush. Ok. :)CGLnychttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08182797883212581609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-79946760376553481642010-09-03T05:58:40.310-06:002010-09-03T05:58:40.310-06:00Thankfully the 3rd Week is looking up for the host...Thankfully the 3rd Week is looking up for the host! :D<br /><br />I actually like the relationship between Esther and Ada.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026099426503180472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-7050224371165922522010-09-02T18:18:59.771-06:002010-09-02T18:18:59.771-06:00Oh boy.

She's actually in her early 40s, much younger than Sir Leicester. Gillian Anderson played her in the movie. <br /><br />And I totally agree about Mr. Guppy. I don't know why Esther is being so wishy washy. She needs to tell Kenge & Carboy to tell him to shape up and get a life. How can he afford all these clothes and theater tickets?Karen K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13483190930383406559noreply@blogger.com
