So Bleak House is a fantasy novel about dinosaurs living in C19 London? Very cool, maybe I will read it.

Novels of this era would open with these dazzling displays of very dense and complex prose as a show of technical mastery. I doubt Bleak House reads like this the whole way through. That being said, I'm a little disheartened that the kids didn't pick up that all Dickens is saying is that it's raining and there's a ton of mud everywhere. I'd be curious to see this study done on 30+ ACT scorers
