Sentiment: POSITIVE
Dickens is a very underrated writer at the moment. Everyone in his time admired him but I think right now he's not spoken of enough.
I admire Dickens beyond words. He is one of the greatest plotters of all times. Didn't have a clue about women, but he sure could plot.
I love Dickens. I love the way he sets a scene.
I love Dickens because it makes me chuckle to myself so. He has taken me to another world and out of so many earthly miseries.
The young Dickens was so alive, so self-confident, so funny.

I wrote the Dickens book because I loved Dickens, not because I felt a kinship with him, but after writing the book it seemed to me that there was at least one similarity between us and that was that Dickens loved to write and wrote with the ease and conviction of breathing. Me, too.
The whole world knows Dickens, his London and his characters.
Taking the humour out of Dickens, it's not Dickens any more.
The gift of a writer as good as Dickens is not to explain everything; that way, the reader has, in terms of their imagination, somewhere to go.
