Dickens was a terrific story-teller, first of all. His stories are filled with incident: comic, dramatic, ironic, melodramatic, intensely tension-filled, horrific and romantic all and at the same time; and he wrote everything as if he were speaking aloud to his audience. Secondly, his ability to create memorable characters, even with just a line or two, was unsurpassed. Third, he wrote with familiarity and passion of the life and times and societies in which he lived and observed, and he was never shy about his opinions about them, good or bad.
To read Dickens, slowly and carefully, is to enter into a world as real as our own, although removed by over a century and a half.

He was a great realistic English author , who described perfectly the English life during the industry revolutional era! and the consequences developed later due to this revolution , he tells the story of the English society at that era , he revealed the mask off the Great Britain face to find suffering people there and everywhere in his tales... not that great u think!!!!!!!!!!!!!
although i am Egyptian when i read one of his novels , i feel i am living in that era with all its advantages and disadvantages
similar to him the great French writer Victor Hugo with his fantastic novel ;Les Miserables
describing the French life prior to the French revolution and how they suffered and struggled to live

Some of the plots are silly in their reliance on coincidence, but his epictions of the time in which he lived is a valuable incite into the the nineteenth century English culture.
