I cannot forego my usual opportunity of saying farewell to my readers in this greetingplace, though I have only to acknowledge the unbounded warmth and earnestness of their sympathy in every stage of the journey we have just concluded. If any of them have felt a sorrow in one of the principal incidents on which this fiction turns, I hope it may be a sorrow of that sort which endears the sharers in it, one to another. This is not unselfish in me. I may claim to have felt it, at least as much as anybody else; and I would fain be remembered kindly for my part in the experience. DEVONSHIRE TERRACE, Twenty-Fourth March, 1848.

Review ''Dombey and Son, the hidden gem even Dickens fans may have missed, combines a rollicking, biting sense of humor with nuanced psychological insights that feel surprisingly modern in their attitudes toward women . . . As usual in Dickens's work, much of the reading pleasure resides in the supporting cast and subplots, and the men here are endearing . . . But it is the wives, sisters, mothers, and discarded mistresses who control the plot and break your heart.'' --O, the Oprah Magazine''(Audiobook Narrator)Frederick Davidson gives such a splendid dramatization of this family saga . . . it's almost like watching theater. Davidson matches his versatile voice to each one of the principals. He also manages to distinguish with equal elasticity among a host of vivid and disparate supporting characters. Thanks to Davidson's seamless delivery, the narrative sweeps the listener through [nearly] 40 hours of sustained drama.'' --AudioFile ''There's no writing against such power as this-one has no chance.'' --William Makepeace Thackeray - 19th century English novelist, author of Vanity Fair. ''Dickens willed into existence the most capacious and elastic and versatile kind of novel that could be, one big enough for his vast sentimental yearnings and for every impulse and fear and hesitation in him that countervailed those yearnings too. Never parsimonious and frequently contradictory, he always gives us everything he can, everything he's planned to give, and then more.'' --Jonathan Lethem - American novelist, essayist and short story writer.

Classic Dickens By Barbara Goldowsky A hard-hearted father, an angelic daughter, a vengeful wife with a past, hopes placed in children who do not survive to adulthood--all the classic situations and characters we expect from this beloved author. Add a deep belief in redemption through love and forgiveness and you get to the heart of the book. It is intriguing and suspenseful, if a bit long, but then so is all of Dickens. What a serial it would make! Reading these 19th Century authors makes me wish they could return to see the movies and TV dramas they inspired. We are fortunate to have their books.Now: about this Kindle Edition. I bought the illustrated, deluxe version. Unfortunately, the Kindle screen doesn't let you view the images in a large enough format to see what's going on. For all one can make out, A gloomy interior or a London fog is all they show.Written on Charles Dickens' 200th Birthday, December 31, 2012Happy Birthday!

The Unrecognized Dickens Masterpiece By King Dimholt This book may never become as popular as "Oliver Twist," "A Christmas carol," "David Copperfield," or "A Tale of Two Cities." But it really is a phenomenal book. Some critics feel that this book reflects careful planning and organization as opposed to typical Dickens improvisation.Onto the text. Paul Dombey becomes the happy father of Paul Dombey Jr. (But in a double edged scene) Paul Sr. becomes a widower. Paul Sr. has a daughter named Florence, but he doesn't really know what to think of her. Paul has high hopes for his son, but Paul Jr. knows that he is not well.Well, we later meet Waler's uncle Solomon Gills. Solomon is concerned that his business is not doing so well. We also meet the eccentric, but heroic Captain Cuttle. After a tragic dream that foreshadows his death, Paul Jr. dies. Well, to Solomon Gill's sadness, Walter goes off to the West Indies. At this point, Dickens prepares the evil of Paul Dombey's assistant Carker.Trying to move on with his life, Dombey marries Edith. But while Edith likes Florence, her feelings for Dombey are not there. Well, Solomon Gills disappears, and Captain Cuttle goes on his mission to find Solomon and Walter. Dickens gives us a hint of Carker's evil when he is happy about Walter's disappearing. Basically, Carker delights in the misery of others, while at the same time manipulating their lives. Later, carker makes advances on Edith which causes more tension. Not surprisingly, the marriage between Dombey and Edith shatters.Due to Dombey's rages, Florence runs off with Captain Cuttle. This is where the terror reaches maximum levels. Dombey (with some justification) blames Carker for everything that has happened to him. Carker makes a final attempt to rape Edith, and this is when the final confrontation between Carker and Dombey happens. Dombey triumphs, but his revenge makes him more depressed than anything.But all is not lost. Captain Cuttle is reunited with his friends, and Walter and Florence get married and have a son who is the grandson of Paul Dombey of course. There follows a beautiful scene of reconciliation between Paul Dombey and his daughter.As sad as some of Dickens's books get, he seems to be able to put a happy ending on it if he chooses to do so. I love this book. But I will also be the first to tell you that it is different from works like "Oliver Twist" or "David Copperfield." It is highly organized, and does lack the artistic improvisation of his other works. But it is phenomenal in a different way.

Hungry for Dickens By Saline English Teacher I learned in high school to love Charles Dickens and love the fact that I can teach it now as a British Lit teacher. No one can weave a plot like he can with as many characters, many of whom seem to become friends as the reading continues. Although some of his foreshadowings and coincidences are a little contrived, I keep coming back for more. Perhaps I've read too much 20th century literature lately, however, in which things don't always turn out for the best and people don't always live happily ever after! In spite of that, I'll always be hooked on Mr. Dickens and will continue to get shivers every time I stand at his grave in Westminster Abbey!
