I finished up Nicholas Nickleby and rated it 4 out of 5 stars.
I found the book was much better than the 2002 movie adaption I watched last night, although I did like Christopher Plummer as Uncle Ralph Nickelby in the movie.
The book did a much better job of bringing out the sense of friendship, love, duty, and honor, the charity of the Cheeryble brothers, and the harsh cruelties of the Squeers in their school for boys. The book also had a much larger canvas in which to paint the relationships that develop in the story, and there were even a few surprises along the way that I did see coming!
