I do enjoy Dickens - he was a master at evoking feelings for characters. I was not a fan of Dora, but I hope to be as formidable as Betsy Trotwood someday.
There are a lot of amazing books written by Charles Dickens but David Copperfield is by far my favourite. I had an excerpt of it for my rapid reading section back in my school days which got me so engrossed in it that I chose to buy the book and read it that summer.
I re-read it once in two years, just to feel David's journey again, with whatever maturity I've gained over the years and all I can say it's a beautifully written tale about growing up, experiencing life, learning to love and then learning to deal with loss. So poignant yet intricately captures the little joys of life.
It's a must read.

What a fantastic novel. I love books that cause me to go through a range of emotions, root for the good guy, and cheer when good prevails. I found the main protagonist, David Copperfield, very lovable and I grew to care for him as though he were a real person! I wasn’t just in my feels for him, but for many of the characters. Don’t let the length keep you from reading this one! If you can appreciate the typical pace of a classic and want a book with multiple characters that you come to know and care about…this one is for you!
This was overly long. I enjoyed David Copperfield's experiences as a child, but became less interested with the conflicts in his adulthood. What a terrible life it would have been for him under the care of Mr. Murdstone! What an amusing yet frustrating child-wife he had in Dora! What a romantic ending! What a tragic plot of Little Emily's! There are a lot of Victorian themes in here, which left for an interesting cultural lesson, if anything else.
Having never read the actual David Copperfield, I have nothing to compare this to, but I felt like it gave me a decent background in plot and theme which is all I was going for.
