Every time I get too comfortable, Dickens hits me with a sledgehammer of melancholy.

I appreciate Dickens for portraying the act of falling in love as something hilarious and silly but simultaneously important. Also, Tommy Traddles is probably my favorite character in the story so far, but he appears only every now and then.

POTENTIAL SPOILERS FOR PEOPLE WHO MIGHT READ THIS BOOK IN THE FUTURE (READ UPDATE AT YOUR OWN RISK):


















STEERFORTH IS AN ABSOLUTE SCUMBAG. I KNEW THIS TWO-FACED FAKE NICE DUDE WAS UP TO SOMETHING.

I can see how Steerforth is perceived as a charming young man, but something about him feels oddly sinister. David needs to keep his distance from him.

Equal parts hilarious, tragic, and thoughtful so far in typical Dickens fashion.
