David Copperfield
by Charles Dickens
I took me FOREVER to finish this book.
But I'm so glad that I did. I loved Great Expectations, so I was really excited to start this book, which is also in the first person. Something about the first person makes everything seem more relatable, and helps everything flow easily in a book with a lot of characters and subplots. I kind of wish Charles Dickens had written more of his novels that way.
This book is about the coming-of-age of an orphan boy by the name of David Copperfield. There isn't exactly a main plot, but rather a life story played out with numerous intriguing subplots and many memorable characters. There were parts of this book where I literally wanted to scream, squeal, or jump up and down just because of how fantastically well it was written. Charles Dickens full-on mastered the art of both showing and telling in all the right places. This is a remarkable book.
