And here are some comments from people who participated in the poll:
A Christmas Carol:
- It really gave me a new perspective on life.
- A timeless piece relating to any man's
reflective life and hopes for the future.
- Bah! Humbug!
- The unbeatable Christmas tale. Present day or past it has been loved by all.
David Copperfield:
Great Expectations:
- It is the most unified of all of his works.
- A divine novel indeed!
- Amazing, can't put it into words. Brilliant!!!
- A most Victorian, yet utterly modern novel.
Very good for class discussion in terms of time setting, character evolution, human relationships, future present and past in the novel and how they interfere with the characters' destinies.
Hard Times
- Inspirational and delved into 19th Century life.
Oliver Twist
- This was the most fascinating book because it is relative to most any time period....Even now!
Our Mutual Friend:
- I love the contrasts and complexity of the plot!
A Tale of Two Cities:
- I remember that I couldn't put this book down!
- I cried like a baby.
