A truly brilliant ending. I actuallly totally did not see it coming at all, like it was really fully out there. Is Dickens the greatest writer of all time? I think he really must be. Like some of the passages from that book. The way he described the passing of 20 years by the echos of the footsteps in the corner of the house. That was really something amazing. And just the imagery off it all. And the classic cast of recurring characters. I did wonder why the names were so strongly made note of in the initial trial of Darney. But it does make sense, those two spies who looked to dump him in for it.

It really feels like such an amazingly original book, and whats more I dont feel like I’m reading bad fiction. Its so amazing how good Dickens is. I really really really like it.

I think next I will have to give David Copperfield a run for his money.
