In his introduction he writes that we learn to improve our vocabulary through reading, and he suggests that one read a few pages of his book every day to expand vocabulary. The essence of his theory is sound, but the execution is lacking.
Do not waste your time with this book. You can improve your vocabulary, your spoken and written skills, much more efficiently by reading any book, even if it is not very well written. This list of monotonous literary terms is boring, and useless for the expansion of vocabulary as it contains no context.
This is the best novel that I have ever read by Dickens. It is also one of the longest.
Far better than "A Christmas Carol", more poignant than "Great Expectations", happier than "Oliver Twist"; it is comparable to "A Tale of Two Cities" in mood. Martin Chuzzlewitt, however, is also quite humorous.
I love this book! It is well worth the time to read it.
The second section of the book contains letters that Helen has written in her youth. These show her development as a writer. I found these somewhat boring after the first few.
I have not gotten to the last section yet, where Annie Sullivan writes. However, the first section is definitely a worthwhile read!
