Sterling Publishing Charles Dickens (Barnes & Noble Collectible Classics: Omnibus Edition): Five Novels

Very nice book. loved it!!😍

This book is nice, and I bought it at a used price under $9. I've read the majority of its first novel, "Oliver Twist," from this large tome and have enjoyed the experience! Next, I will tackle "A Tale of Two Cities ": a novel that was required reading for me in 9th or 10th grade, which, at the time, I didn't have the time or patience to fully appreciate.

I have been collecting barnes and noble leather bound series and this is an amazing edition. it's very thick and heavy but beautifully designed and perfectly done.

Livro incrível! Muito bonito, muito bem acabado, exatamente com na foto. Capa em couro com lindos adornos em cor cobre. As folhas são de ótima qualidade, a fonte é muito boa e tamanho da mesma é adequado a uma leitura confortável. Plenamente satisfeito. Compraria novamente com toda certeza.

Dickens novels are prequels to so much of literature, especially to Mike Resnick's MUTINEER and the movie The IN-CROWD (a Force Ten Production only on VHS). The origin of Fiction's "Anti-hero" lies in every Dickens novel. If you're in need of an actual, non-factual hero, try FALLON by Louis L'amour, or The PALADIN by C.J. Cherryh or STORMFRONT by Jim Butcher. If you need a little hard-boiled detective with your heroics try "RED DIAMOND, Private Eye" by Mark Schorr. Add a little Atheism to the mix and MR. BIG by Woody Allen will fit the bill in [Sam] spades. If you need MORE Atheism, then pray to The Quotable Atheist.If you want more Romance with your Dickens, then check out Catherine Cookson's novels, especially The Rag Nymph, The Glass Virgin and even The Mary Ann Omnibus. /Users/tomlang/Desktop/Excerpted from THE QUOTABLE ATHEIST--Print Data File.pdf

The Barnes & Nobles collection of great literature (of which this title is a part) was a great series with a couple of exceptions 1) the hardcover editions are very large, and very heavy (nearly 5 pounds), making them not easy to handle or read, and 2) there are no annotations or footnotes; that can prove bothersome. The Dickens collection is especially irksome. It's been difficult reading "Great Expectations" because Dickens refers to things (obviously) that were commonplace in Victorian England, but are totally forgotten today. Additionally, he uses popular slang of the era that has no equivalency today. It really slows down my reading of the novel, and lessens my enjoyment of the classic story.
