When I was listneing to the audio book, it took a LOOOOOOONG time for me to figure out what the heck was going on. I didn't even realize it was a mystery of sorts. You've got so many storylines to follow: Esther, Richard and Ada, the Jarndyce case, Lady Dedlock, Tulkinghorn, Guppy, etc. Dickens tells so much about everyone (and I had the abridged version!); The couple where the wife turned out to be Esther's aunt's old housekeeper got like 20 minutes in the book, and about 3 in the movie.
Smallweed, yeah, I'll shake him up LOL.
I liked it, and couldn't wait to see more, but I can't see sitting through all 8 hours again.
