  • I think I was too young to appreciate the book, especially its irony. I didn't enjoy it so much.

  • Sometimes its irony irritated me, but afterwards the characters turned out to be extremely likable. In the end I was affectionate to them, even if in some pages (especially with Sam Weller the elder) I felt like suffocating, for I sincerely could not perceive their humour.

    Sometimes its irony irritated me, but afterwards the characters turned out to be extremely likable. In the end I was affectionate to them, even if in some pages (especially with Sam Weller the elder) I felt like suffocating, for I sincerely could not perceive their humour.
    Globally speaking, a good book; given the feelings described above, just 2 stars, sorry.

    This book could be taken as a very good example of british humour, and it could also offer an invaluable amount of historical data to any literature scholar or english linguist.
    Unfortunately, I'm neither.
    I have the feeling I could have liked this book a great deal more if english had been my mother tongue. Since it isn't, my reading enjoyment was greatly diminished both by the difficulties with language and the distance in time.
