Synopsis
Dickens's first novel, serialized in 1836-37, is a loosely structured series of comic travelers' tales following Samuel Pickwick and his three friends to various towns around England. The book is renowned for its easy good humor and rich cast of characters, but it is nevertheless not without a touch of Dickens's characteristic social criticism, which would become much more pronounced in his later novels.

Industry reviews
"Pickwick Papers, as a teenager, struck me as the perfect comic novel. Its humor is so super-abundant, so overwhelmingly fecund that, to this day, whenever I seek inspiration, when I am trying to write humorous material, I go back to Dickens, because Dickens is the quintessence of humor. As an adult, War and Peace, by Tolstoy, strikes me as the greatest work of imaginative literature in any language. It seems to contain all human truths. Although it is vast, when you get to the end of it, you are astonished that it seems to have gone by so quickly. The greatest of all novels. For any young person right now, I would recommend reading the fifth and sixth chapters of a new book called The Truth About Chernobyl by Grigori Medvedev. One does not understand nuclear catastrophe -- I certainly never did -- until one reads these two chapters. Empty cities, inhabited only by packs of radioactive dogs, chasing and eating radioactive cats in clouds of radioactive dust. And all about are hundreds of miles of silent landscape. No birdsong. No life. Books like that do change one. Indeed, I guess that is the one criterion I would put to any book that I recommended to a young person. It must have potential to change the young person's life. If you read Tolstoy, he changes you. One does not understand women until one has read Anna Karenina. A Hundred Years of Solitude, by Gabriel Garcia Marquez expands one's imagination. There are very few books of that kind."
