This sets forth the adventures of Pickwick and some of his comrades from the Pickwick Club during a time of travel. Interspersed with humour Dickens exposes the horrors of debtor's prison, some of the inane sorts of lawsuits from greedy lawyers (not that he makes all lawyers crooked, just some) and some of the less than stellar moments among political writers and politicians. While I only just liked this particular Dickens (I have others I like better), this is probably due to the fact that this is one of his earliest works. Don't let this put you off; this humour might be your cup of tea. Also, there are some delightful and other sorts of memorable characters in this book. Who could fail to like Samuel Weller, for example?

All in all, I'm glad I've read this and at some point will read more, but I have read three of his longer books in the past year so plan to take a break for a while.
