 Dickens's first novel, serialized in 1836 and 1837, is a loosely structured series of comic travelers' tales following Samuel Pickwick and his three friends to various towns around England. The book is renowned for its easy good humor and rich cast of characters, but it is nevertheless not without a touch of Dickens's characteristic social criticism, which would become much more pronounced in his later novels.   less

This book literally made me laugh out loud... I think I actually snorted at one point :)  Sam Weller is one of the greatest characters of all time...

this must be my favourite book of all time although I often change my mind...but I really loved reading this. My dad loves it...he read a passage from it at the Christmas table last year which was really touching. Great couple of  paragraphs discribing what Christmas meant to Dickens...great stuff.

Still brilliant, after almost 200 years. What else could a writer wish for his work?

This was so amusing!  Especially if you like nineteenth century English class humor.  Which I apparently do.

I think I've read all of Dickens' books, and this was my favorite.  He really had a sense of humor and a range far wider than just the misery of the human condition in 19th century England.  Great read.
