1) Mass Market Paperback Book Hard Times (Enriched Classics) by Pocket. I know it is a classic, but so is castor oil. I really appreciate it for the times in which it was written - and I can see parallels between the way children were treated then and how they are still treated in some sects today- but I cannot say I found it an enjoyable read. I prefer Dickens Tale of Two Cities, Great Expectations and Christmas Carol a lot more. Hard Times is not his best effort.¤

2) Mass Market Paperback Book Hard Times (Enriched Classics) by Pocket. I love this book. An enthralling story line above a social commentary and, as always with Dickens, a reflection on human character.¤

3) Mass Market Paperback Book Hard Times (Enriched Classics) by Pocket. Charles is a great author. Tough to read and understand but if you take the time and slowly read it you will understand and get something out of it.¤

4) Mass Market Paperback Book Hard Times (Enriched Classics) by Pocket. Some of the notes were helpful but a lot of them were stuff that you should know if you are a high school graduate. The book was pretty good altho the style was hard to get used to. It was very didactic but it got into a little insight into the characters as the book went on. I don´t think this was one of Dicken´s best books.¤

5) Mass Market Paperback Book Hard Times (Enriched Classics) by Pocket. "Hard Times" is a minor Charles Dickens classic. Like all Charles Dickens´ novels it features some great, memorable characters. The setting of the industrial city of Coketown is vividly described as a miserable, polluted town. There are some strong themes of class struggles between the working men in the factories and the harsh upper classes who seek to exploit them. Nearly all of the upper class characters are depicted in a negative light while the real heroes of the story are from the working class. As always, Dickens finds an entertaining way to shine a bright light on the social problems of Victorian-era England. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and highly recommend it. However, if you are choosing your first introduction to Charles Dickens, then you should pick one of his better-known novels.¤
