This is a fine recording by Frederick Davidson. What a talented narrator he was! He tackled all of the voices of this Dicken's classic superbly.
As for the story, I got bored with the characters in the romantic relationship in the end and couldn't wait for it to resolve finally. The step-mother left me wondering if her character was really fully developed in this novel. Overall, the cast of characters were diverse and entertaining as you would expect from Dickens. I did enjoy it and hunger for more readings by Davidson.
