It took me about 500 pages to see exactly what Dickens was doing with this novel and now I can’t stop reading it. Bleak House is a page turner once you get into it. Dickens social satire and commentary is so relevant even today but he really understood the human condition and this masterpiece certainly shows it.

Dickens is a genius. There’s lots of build up with this novel but I’m getting to see the payoffs and they are indeed brilliant.
