read this over the school year, it got really confusing sometimes considering how many characters there were but great overall!
I have a real love-hate relationship with Dickens.
I first read this book in high school, and to this day when I hear a really annoying voice, that nails-on-a-chalk-board voice, I think of Uriah Heep.
Little boys can never have a happy childhood in a Dickens book.
The wealthy and powerful always abuse the poor and innocent, and poor little David Copperfield was poor and innocent.
As we have seen with other Dickens characters, those born into wealth are easily corrupted by their own greatness, while those who struggle in life tend to be stronger in compassion and morality.

10/10 wouldn’t change a single thing
Dickens reminds me, with each character, of the preciousness of each life, of every journey, of being witness to one another and ourselves.
Copperfield made me laugh out loud and cry, and I’m just sad that my life is so removed from his time and place that I know I’m not able to recognize and appreciate some of the details of this book. It’s a lovely story, and connected me to this past.
Narrator: excellent, though slightly intense sometimes

I was listening to this after I listened to Demon Copperhead (which was excellent). I’m giving up for now, because it feels too long and I have so many other wonderful books I want to read first. Great drama, but too much of it for me this year.

This narration by Joel Froomkin is wonderful. His characterizations are fantastic. So enjoyable.
My 6th grade nemesis. Unwilling to foray into Charles Dickens after this.
