About this listen
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.

As brilliant as ever
The narration was brilliant!
Many of the characters are incredibly disagreeable (credit to the writer for creating such a lively lot) compared to most other Dickens novels, and the satire is so biting. The bits in America are still so relevant it's almost painful.
Highly recommended: as brilliant as many other Dickens novels.

A Dickens worth revisiting ....,
The story is great: a Dickens I had almost forgotten, caustic in its satire, dark and funny. Moving enough to make me weep for a good long stretch of the M40. The reading was plain in the ordinary narrative but superb, SUPERB, was the voice of Pecksniff, with Mrs Gamp and Pol Sweedlepipe not for behind. Excellent.

Beautifully read
Sean Barrett brings Dickens to life, really helping to evoke the atmosphere of the period and bringing out the depth of his characters. It was a joy to listen to.

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.
