Good book. I can see why it is a classic.

Even though this is read by Richard Armitage it took me a looong time to finish and sometimes I couldn't even remember what had happened so far...
I guess Dickens (or maybe that specific book) isn't really my cup of tea.
I'm nonetheless glad that I listened to it as an audiobook, because at least I recognized some distinctive character voices which would have been an additional difficulty if I'd just read it.

This was my family book club book...a book to read before going to Maine. Long but worth every word. I loved it. Everyone in my book club did too.

A wonderful classic.  David's story from an ideal childhood, to misfortune. Semi autobiographical.
