lacytelles 's review for:

David Copperfield by Charles Dickens
5.0

I do not know why I had never read this book before. First and foremost, be prepared that it is epically long. Secondly, it was a surprisingly funny and enjoyable read. The intro by Charles Dickens states that David Copperfield is his favorite, and I feel like you can genuinely feel the heart that went in to this story about a boy growing into a man. There are many characters who come and go and come again, and each one is unique and entertaining. Read it.
UPDATE: Read this book again in preparation for Demon Copperhead, and it still holds up. I laughed out loud several times in the first third. It is still crazy long (and not a fast read), but so good.
