David Copperfield by Charles Dickens
4.0

While it is a very delightful read, it could use some editing. There were chapters thrown in more for the purpose of the author to give a personal viewpoint than to advance the story (I'm looking at you, prison chapter). 3 other things that bothered me were: 1) David's inability to denounce Steer forth after running away with Emily; 2) how Ham dies rescuing a dead Steerforth (so convenient); and 3) why it wasn't made a bigger deal that David almost pulled a Murdstone on Dora. Otherwise, it's really a fun book about a poor child that grows into a naive man that is able to find true happiness in the most purely Victorian English way.
