It's Dickens
It is soppy, idealistic, poetic, emotional and of course has a happy ending after torturing have of England. Most of it needlessly self inflicted by notions of honourable rectitude. It is Dickens and I loved it.

A Classic For A Reason
A Classic For A Reason: this was my grandmother's favourite book. Charles Dickens wrote books that were beloved by the masses in his time, and this is a pefect example of a story that timelessly speakes to the everlasting righteousness of human nature

Brilliant, thoroughly enjoyable
I am a relative newcomer to Dickens and not the sharpest tool in the bookshed, so I surprised myself that I stayed with the plot so closely, rarely getting lost - the excellent, clear, sensitive narration helped here I am sure. My internal backdrop to the story was the BBC dramatisation which I remember quite well, and I suspect that helped too!
A great listen, very memorable.

Wonderful story, brilliantly narrated
Yet another Dickens classic! I thoroughly loved the story of Little Dorrit! It's long, yes and very descriptive, but it's so wonderfully brought to life by Simon Vance's excellent narration and characterisation that I just melted into their world and was happily carried along with the tale. I shall certainly look for other stories read by him as he certainly brought the magic of Little Dorrit to life - enjoy!

Excellent narration of a Dickens classic
A typically intriguing story with great comedy and some complex characters. Brilliantly narrated by Simon Vance.

Finally given up at chapter 53!
I'm a fan of Dickens, but not of this. I've found it difficult to get into, and I'm afraid Mr Dorrit's speech impediment has made it impossible to go any further. Simon Vance is good with the narration - too good really, because he's totally in character when reading Mr Dorrit's dialogue, and I would have found it easier on the ear if he'd just dropped the obsequious affectation.
