First and foremost, I'm a born-again Christian who tries to please God with all I do, including making reading decisions. I'm a lawyer and I like to read about anything.
I've never been able to get into Dickens, but this book was different. Admittedly, it was still a long slog through it, but I enjoyed it in a way I never have with Dickens; probably it was the critique on the Chancery system.
