He's a marvellous writer... He's very, very good
William Trevor
A story of the traumas of sex and class. My favourite moment is the one where Magwitch makes his stumbling way up the shadowy staircase towards an unnerved but unsuspecting Pip: the halting but inexorable rise of the repressed 'from the darkness beneath
Sarah Waters
The defects in [Great Expectations] are as nearly imperceptible as spots on the sun or shadows on a sunlit sea
Algernon Charles Swinburne
I would always prefer to go get another Dickens off the shelf than pick up a new book by someone I've not read yet... I love the tradition of Dickens, where even the most minor walk-on characters are twitching and particular and alive
Donna Tartt

Sarah Waters
This was the author's last great work, the defects in it are as nearly imperceptible as spots on the sun or shadows on a sunlit sea

Donna Tartt
There is no one Dickens novel I could pick over all the others. Dickens is huge-like the sky. Pick any page of Dickens and it's immediately recognizable as him, yet he might be doing social satire, or farce, or horror, or a psychological study of a murderer-or any combination of these
