I'm looking for a recommendation. HarryT's enthusiasm for Dickens has convinced me that I may have misjudged the man back in high school. Unfortunately, I still don't feel brave enough to venture straight back into his books.

Happily for me, though, I generally enjoy the books of Dan Simmons. Can anybody tell me if Drood is (1) entertaining in its own right, and (2) a good re-introduction for an old Dickens-hater?

Many thanks for any advice.
