ned very well. By reading this I learned that hard work really does pay off. Just like when some of Charles Dickenss novels had bad reviews he would work hard on it to make it better. Some of those books became his best novels. I also learned that when you disagree on something dont be afraid to give your opinion. Charles Dickens wasnt afraid to give his opinion on copyright issues in America. After he argued about the problem he gained copyright for the books sold in America. The only thing that I didnt understand about this book was how the author said that Charles was a self-centered man but he argued to try to abolish slavery and gave some of his earning from book writing to charities. That doesnt sound self-centered to me. Everything else about it was outstanding and I learned a lot.Charles Dickens went through a lot of rough times in his life and ended up on top. He came from being a normal middle class citizen to being one of the most popular people in the world. His books have been read, translated and made into motion pictures. They have been read and watched by people for years and will still be in years to come. Charles Dickenss personal life grew increasingly unhappy and drove him to an early death. But His work remains, funny, sad, warm, and stunning....
