I'm a quarter of the way through this audiobook and still have more than 23 hours to go! Dickens is a genius with satirical description, but brevity is not his strong point. I'm so sick of the Mantolinis already-- he doesn't actually need to tell us every damned time Mr. Mantolini says something is damned in order to demonstrate that it is damnably overused.
