Customer Review: A Fine Kindle Edition
Charles Dickens. Meh.
Not! The man does verbal gymnastics that would sprain a lesser man's brain, yet weaves stories that still sparkle and resonate some 150 years later.
This Kindle edition is easy to navigate, and the text seems to be complete and accurate, something that cannot always be said with inexpensive editions of classic authors.
I love Charles Dickens, and if you feel the same, give yourself the inexpensive treat of this fine Kindle edition of his collected works.
Customer Review: In case you're wondering whether you need 200+ works
The answer is certainly yes. The Kindle format continues to amaze and impress me with its ease of use, and more importantly, with its guilt free reading function. The guilt free reading function is the one where you can read a hundred pages on a Kindle, never look at that particular book again, and never feel guilty about having spent $15 + shipping on something you don't intend to complete.
The Dickens collection is wonderful because even if you're big fan of England's second greatest author, you're unlikely to have so many of his works, especially some of the more obscure ones such as "American Notes," which is a journal of his 1842 trip to the U.S.A. This Kindle edition gives you that excellent piece, and of course much more.
The only down side is that the Kindle will, if you hit the wrong button, take you back to the Home page or back to the complete list of all 200 works, so you can end up doing a bit of detective work to get back to where you left off. This isn't a problem with single-book Kindle editions.
This is another example of how the Kindle has, overnight, made vast and important literary collections instantly accessible to the ordinary reading public without having to make the public library your second home, or impoverish oneself, or devote thousands of square feet at home to musty, smelly, roach-loving old books.
