Reviews for Hard Times
Review - Hard Times
Weak, with poorly-developed characters. I got the impression that Dickens didn't enjoy writing it like he did his other books. In Bleak House, Dombey and Sons and Our Mutual Friends, he pointed out the evils of society without sterotyping classes (good and bad people exist in all classes). But in this book, the classes are stereotyped and not realistically.
