I really liked this book, as well as the rest of the books in this collection. The “Who Was…” books make biographies much more enjoyable and less threatening for students. One reason I enjoyed this book is because of the timeline it includes in the back of the book. The timeline not only includes Charles Dickens’ life, but also everything that was going on around the world during his time period related to writing and war. For example, in Charles Dickens’ timeline for 1865 it mentions that Charles was in a train wreck, and in the other timeline of the world it mentions that the first commercially sold typewrite was invented during that same year. The timeline helps with summing up important events in Charles Dickens’ life, and is easy to read. Another reason I enjoyed reading this book is because the language is very clear and gets straight to the point. For example, “He wrote stories and started his own newspaper. Other boys paid for copies with marbles. He made the boys laugh by pretending to speak in a foreign language he had made up himself.” With these short, yet concise sentences, a lot of information is provided, which I thought was very beneficial. Finally, I liked this book due to its illustrations and how it enhances the story. For example, when mentioning the death of his father and baby Dora, the illustration on that page is of Charles’ family standing in front of the grave with distinct frowning faces, as if they were crying. The illustrations allow the reader to visualize the emotions felt at this time. The main idea of this book is emphasizing the life of Charles Dickens and all that he accomplished to get to his position. ( ) ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
