Which is your favorite Charles Dicken's book and why do you like it more than the others?

I really like stuff like *Oliver Twist*, *Great Expectations*, and *A Christmas Carol*, but if I had to pick, my favorite Dickens book is *Our Mutual Friend*. A lot of people seem to have never even heard of it unless they’re really into classic fiction. What I like most is that it doesn’t feel quite as bleak as some of his others. The characters are all over the place—in class, gender, and personality—and there’s romance, but it stays pretty understated instead of getting overly dramatic. Plus the mystery side of the plot keeps pulling me in, and I honestly find myself curious about what’s going on with the smaller characters too.
