Book Overview

David Copperfield (1849-50) was Dickens's favorite novel: 'Of all my books', he wrote, 'I like it the best.' Strikingly autobiographical in its childhood scenes, it relates David's history from birth to young manhood, and the host of characters he meets on his journey of self-knowledge: Mr Micawber, the Peggottys, Betsey Trotwood, Steerforth and Uriah Heep among them.

Townsend Library version is highly edited

I thought we were getting an unabridged version, and though this one is long, it is highly edited and doesn't read like Dickens at all. The very first chapter just flops and reads like a dry biography instead of Dickens' fascinating, lilting voice. It doesn't mention the caul or anything. Dickens is hard to read but worth the effort. Very disappointed.

If u only watched the movies, you've missed out!

There is nothing like reading a Charles Dickens book! And David Copperfield is definitely a classic and a better known(altho I recommend them all!)of his writings. Dickens being the ultimate storyteller. This is a favorite, with such characters as his Aunt, her sidekick Mr. Dick, his 2 chums(Traddles the best), and so many other character developments. It is a happy and sad time, excerpted from the real goings on of life in...

No wonder Dickens was deemed one of the best English writers, ever!

I had read the Chinese version of "David Copperfield" when I was about 14, and enjoyed it very much, though it didn't leave much trace in my mind after I grew up. I was glad to be able to enjoy it a second time recently. This time I read the English version, that is, the original work of the great writer Charles Dickens. I was immediately subdued by Dickens' mastery of the language. Reading the book is just like having someone...

A Masterpiece

This is Dickens's best and it is on par with other great novels such as Anna Karenina, Pride and Prejudice, Madame Bovary, etc. In short, it is a masterpiece that brings together all of Dickens's writing skills with a great story. As background information, I am in the process of reading most of Dickens 22 novels. I bought the Penguin Popular Classics version of the novel. It is very basic and comes in a simple green cover...

One of the finest books in English

This book excels marvelously on two fronts - style and story. Dickens has a masterful style that uses to good effect the best elements of English. His prose is simply wonderful. The story is also tremendous. Its wraps up a little too tidy, but that is the Dicken's style. The characters are vividly painted and the failures and triumphs feel as real as can be. It is a masterpiece I recommend to everyone.
