taryn_a 's review for:
David Copperfield
by Charles Dickens
I have started this book many times over the years (I don't know exactly how long it's been on my TBR, but I do remember asking for and receiving it for my birthday 14 years ago, so at least that long), but never got very far. But now having finished it, I think it was because it just wasn't the right time and now really was.
This is my 5th Dickens novel and while I have complained of his verboseness in some of his other works, this is not one of them (which can be surprising with its hefty length). This book tells and long, but exciting tale of David's whole life.
Basically, I've heard this book talked up for over a decade, and it deserves all the praise it has received. I just loved it. Also 10/10 would recommend the audiobook read by Richard Armitage--with just how long the book is, his reading and voices for the characters really helped keep me invested in the lives of David Copperfield and all the people around him.
