The life and adventures of Martin Chuzzlewit

Cat Josephson

This wasn't really my favorite book.... but I think that had to do with the characters rather than the story itself. I just couldn't bring myself to like any of the characters, even the main ones. This made it difficult to get through the novel. 2/5 stars, for me.

This scathingly funny, sinister novel of greed and redemption follows the changing fortunes of young Martin Chuzzlewit. Disowned by his wealthy, embittered grandfather and betrayed by his supposed protector Pecksniff, Martin sets out to make his own way in the world, journeying to America before he learns what evil money can do. Described by Dickens as 'in a hundred points immeasurably the best of my stories', Martin Chuzzlewitcontains some of his most searing satire and vividly realized characters, including, famously, the drunken and verbose nurse Mrs Gamp.
