Book Review: "Bleak House" book review (byAJ from OLSOS)
Summary: 1 Stars
This novel begins in London during the 1800's. The narrator has appeared in court to discuss the famous case known as "Jarndyce and Jarndyce." The Lord Chancellor (the judge) tells the narrator to appear at an orphanage to talk to the owner. She appears at the orphanage only to meet the nicest group of children, and a very kind and loving woman named Miss Caddy Jellyby. The Lord Chancellor assigns the narrator to meet Miss Jellyby because they both have one thing in common, they love Africa.They both love the culture. After the narrators stay at Miss Jellyby's place, she is given a letter with some very horrible,tragic information. This book was one of the worst books I have ever read. I drooled with boredom as I struggled to read each page. There are copious amounts of characters, and too many details to comprehend. These details tend to get you very confused very easily. I was frustrated by the end of Chapter 1. I do not recommend this book.
