Bleak House by Charles Dickens
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A nice audiobook edition of this monstrous classic. It seems a bit cruel that Dickens hangs to many characters in plots upon the clothesline of Jandyce & Jandyce to have it evaporate suddenly in the end like a reverse-deux ex machina. But, it works out for plucky Esther in the end and it is about the journey, I think. Dickens' satirical wit and colorful, cartoonish characters summon up a Monty Python-like production in my mind.
