I read all of them and listened to the ones I could get in audio. Yes, the ones that were serialized had different pacing than the ones published as stand alone books. David Copperfield was especially noteworthy for the action. Aged Parent!

And you can tell the ones that were serialised as he really had to keep the pace going.

I went off on a Charles Dicken’s rabbit hole once-upon-a-time. I both read and listened to audio books while driving. They are dark but fantastically good books and this is coming from a SciFi fan. Aged Parent!

I have seen his photos but not read his book. 

I’m reminded of Charles Dicken’s ‘A Christmas Carol’ - say the name and people think muppets. If you read the original as a comment on the conditions in London at that time it’s terrifying (and was intentionally political at the time)
