The first half and the second half feel like different books. Enjoyed the first half, didn't enjoy the second.

Overall I think the bones of a great story are there - David is a very likable protagonist and his cast of characters around him are quite interesting. There is an unsurprisingly large amount of text to sift through to get to meatier parts of the story. Excited for Demon Copperhead

Finished! Mammoth task, 28 audio discs but a very well told and gripping story. Lots of minor characters you recognise from future incarnations, a slimy villain in Uriah Heep and the fascinating evolution of David and his love life from innocent boy with crushes to adult man with responsibilities and real love. Great Dickens.

David is a soppy fop and deserves his misery.

and then all the bad people died or went to jail and all the main characters lived good for the rest of their days after unless you were lower class which then you had to move to australia but still lived happily ever after
