Recently read "The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby" Book was a good read, but then I'm a fan of his writing-won't appeal to everyone's taste. If in doubt, perhaps take a listen to the recording of The Book Report radio show on their website, where they play a clip from the audio book too-I think they have moved onto a new line up of books for the week-just check the schedule and if so, check the archive for last weeks show(bookreport[dot]com).
