As with all Dickens books, a bit wordy and complicated, but still quite enjoyable. </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/plowing-through-dickens#post-867 Mon, 30 Jun 2008 08:10:04 +0000 Sarah 867@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>How was it? </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/plowing-through-dickens#post-865 Mon, 30 Jun 2008 06:48:56 +0000 Jordan 865@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>Actually, my family read <em>Cricket on the Hearth</em> for Christmas last year, and discovered that it has nothing to do with Christmas whatsoever! </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/plowing-through-dickens#post-857 Sun, 29 Jun 2008 20:07:44 +0000 Pip 857@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>I've seen a pretty good movie of Great Expectations (I read a book and then watch the movie a lot) and it was very good; there's also a little cartoon about Cricket on the Hearth. That's a Christmas story, I think, so I can't read it until December!<br /> Nicolas Nickleby looks doable. Our library has a lot of Dicken's stuffins, so I'm just gathering courage to jump in. *gasping and widening of eyes* </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/plowing-through-dickens#post-721 Wed, 25 Jun 2008 11:56:58 +0000 Sarah 721@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>Maybe I should wait to give my opinion on David Copperfield until we finish the book. (Though that could take a while. It's enormous!) </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/plowing-through-dickens#post-718 Wed, 25 Jun 2008 10:48:32 +0000 Pip 718@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>Which book is it?<br /> Dickens is challenging, but rewarding, </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/plowing-through-dickens#post-712 Wed, 25 Jun 2008 10:29:45 +0000 Owan 712@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>I picked up a Dickens' when I was in the bookroom (otherwise known as the garage) the other day. It's a small little book. Maybe I'll read it today.</p> <p>I've never read any Dickens... </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/plowing-through-dickens#post-668 Sun, 22 Jun 2008 22:34:11 +0000 Alyosha 668@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>I've read A Tale of Two Cities and Oliver Twist (liked them both very much) and Great Expectations (not quite as good, and I didn't like any of the characters, but maybe I was too young for it then). I quit halfway through Nicholas Nickleby.</p> <p>Bleak House and Hard Times are on my to-read list, anyone read those? </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/plowing-through-dickens#post-664 Sun, 22 Jun 2008 20:13:09 +0000 Pip 664@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>David Copperfield. </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/plowing-through-dickens#post-651 Sat, 21 Jun 2008 14:54:20 +0000 Sarah 651@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>How is what? David Copperfield or the Christmas Carol movie? </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/plowing-through-dickens#post-642 Sat, 21 Jun 2008 14:14:30 +0000 Pip 642@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>How is it?<br /> I once tried to watch a version (a cheesy version, mind you!) of ACC, and E. Scrooge kept cursing! It didn't even sound right; it was just frivolous, for the sake of profanity.<br /> A book I'm halfway through called Lord Foul's bane is like that; the main chracter can't think or talk without some four-letter word! </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/plowing-through-dickens#post-627 Sat, 21 Jun 2008 06:47:36 +0000 Sarah 627@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>Well, I had a short version of A Christmas Carol read to me. (And then we found a much larger version on the shelf!) The only Christmas Carol movie I've seen is the Patrick Stuart one.<br /> A Christmas Carol isn't one of my favorite stories.<br /> We're reading David Copperfield now. (Well, listening to it being read aloud.) </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/plowing-through-dickens#post-626 Sat, 21 Jun 2008 05:54:45 +0000 Jordan 626@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>My family watched about five different versions of it over one Christmas, and we discovered that the recent Patrick Stuart version cannot be beat for great acting and sticking the book like glue. Although the Muppets are a lot of fun, too. :) </p> http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/plowing-through-dickens#post-621 Fri, 20 Jun 2008 21:21:16 +0000 Pip 621@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ <p>I'm reading Oliver Twist this fall for school, hopefully it'll be good. What's y'all's favorite movie adaptation of A Christmas Carol?<br /> Don't laugh yet: A Muppet's Christmas Carol. :) Honestly! I've seen a bunch o' versions and that's the best one yet!!! LoL </p>
