I was given a copy of this book by a co-worker. It was 860 pages long with denser prose than that of which I am fond. A debtors' prison is the main setting and where Little Dorrit is born. I am not a careful enough reader to catch much of the humor Dickens injects regarding low and high society as well as patent offices and other government bureaucracies. (view spoiler)

]This being a very long word for Mr. Sparkler, and his mind being exhausted by his late effort, he replied , 'No, thank you. I seldom take it.'

I agree with you regarding the dense prose. I found it to be much denser than other of his novels. I often found my attention waning half way trhrough amny of the sentences in this book. And there were a number of times I did not follow the flow of what he was saying.
