PERSONAL OPINION:

 While reading the biography of such a great author, I gained a lot of valuable information about his personal life. I discovered many parts of him that I never knew. Apart from that, this biography helped me understand the conditions in London that century and the needs of the poor and the needs of the tender aged individuals who worked under pathetic circumstances. Now, not only am I absolutely ready to read all of his masterpieces, but I am also capable of understanding them better. This book has given me useful knowledge for college, too. I can't wait to study other biographies of  other great classical British novelists.
