Summary
The Chuzzlewits are a family divided by money and selfishness; even young Martin, the eponymous hero, is arrogant and self-centred. He offends his grandfather by falling in love with the latter’s ward, Mary, and sets out to make his own fortune in life, travelling as far as America - which produces from Dickens a savage satire on a new world tainted with the vices of the old. Martin’s nature slowly changes through his bitter experience of life and his enduring love for Mary. Martin Chuzzlewit is one of Dickens’s most humorous and satirical novels, and it contains two great comic creations: the hypocrite Pecksniff and the drunken nurse Sarah Gamp.

Lovely narration of wonderful Dickensian characters
On from the heading though, my stamina waned while slogging through a number of chapters. Just make sure you’ve time to savour the pros. Sean Barret’s reading deserves an award…. Fantastic.

Great Dickens
Great characters, a fascinating story, lots of humour, brilliantly read and characterised by Sean Barrett.
The novel has one or two chapters that are a bit long-winded (don't be put off by Chapter 1), the American section is surprisingly anti-american.
But you must make the acquaintance of some of the unforgettable characters such as Mr Pecksniff, Tom Pinch and may you never be looked after by Mrs Gamp.
Superb.

Dickens at his best!
Fantastic listen, Sean Barrett does an excellent job narrating. Dickens is a master at writing characters ...I loved this book so much I bought the BBC's dramatisation of it.

Another great book from Dickens.
I enjoyed this book which was brilliantly read by Sean Barrett. The language is slightly more flowery than Dicken's other books but is probably because he was trying his hand a poetry in an obscure way. As usual the female heroines are too good to be true but none of this spoils the story. Recommended.
