I read it as meaning that opinion was polarized. Like you can find people saying Obama is the best president of recent times or the worst. "He was the best of presidents, he was the worst of presidents. He was the savior of capitalism, he was a communist mole. He was the nemesis of Osama and a Secret Muslim Traitor and craven appeaser." Etc, etc.

I haven't. All the Dickens I've read is the Pickwick Papers, which I disliked --- in fact, IIRC, I may have stopped reading it halfway through, which is very rare for me --- and Hard Times, which I thought was quite good. But I don't really like his style. Lots of people do, so I can't say that it's bad, but it's not for me.
