Book review - "Charles Dickens" by Simon Callow

Not a spectacular achievement like some other Callow books but still a highly entertaining look at the famous writer, with the gimmick that it focuses on Dickens' love for theatre. Dickens was stage crazy throughout his life, acted as often as he could, put on plays and tried to write them - not particularly memorably, as far as we can tell, though it would have helped with his novels and lectures.
