This short novel yet again showcases Dickens' dry wit. ...
This short novel yet again showcases Dickens' dry wit. Typical of Dickens, The Cricket on the Hearth makes a statement about social customs and societal mores of the 19th century. This is one of Dicken's less serious works and is an 'easy read'. Ricardo Silverburn, children's author.
A Good Winter's Tale
I am a longtime fan of Charles Dickens, so, not too surprised that I liked this, as well. A shorter novel, it introduces each character thoroughly, beginning with the family who belong to the Cricket. Mr. Dickens weaves a world that is easy to see, and includes his trademark touches of humor - such as the baby's nanny, and the boxer dog. Spend some time with the Cricket on the Hearth. You won't regret it!
Lovely story
Great little love story about two people others would see as mismatched. Their story is intertwined with the usual Dickens' characters,those with nasty dispositions and wealth and of course the opposite, the downtrodden and sickly. But then there is always the surprise at the end!
I am so glad that I found this book on Kindle, and for free at that, I could not put it down once I started reading it.
Boring, and Largely Undeveloped
This story was...odd. The very ending was okay, but the bulk of it just seemed pointless. There wasn't a clear purpose to the story. Any plot was largely undefined until right at the end. The storytelling style was also rather quirky, with some asides that I can only imagine as a storyteller's asides to children, except many of them don't seem like the kinds of things one says to children. It isn't awful, but it really isn't worth the time investment to read it, either.
Short but Dickensian
Although short and simple,this book contains many of the attributes that make Dickens such a great author. The subtle humor and excessively emotionalized characters capture the reader's attention and make the book highly enjoyable.
