Dickens: A Biography by Pulitzer Prize-nominated biographer Fred Kaplan

Another great find. Thanks.

It's a huge book--640 pages.

I wanted to see how well the book was rated. I checked Goodreads and Amazon. Goodreads gives it a respectable 3.75 out of 5. Amazon gives it a 3.5, but the distribution of the ratings is unusual--5 of the 10 reviews were 5-star.

BTW - Amazon, at least, has matched Kobo's price. Link: http://www.amazon.com/Dickens-Biogra...ography+kaplan.

This is another book that I wish were available on audio cheap, either as a Whispersync companion or otherwise . . . .
