David Copperfield
by Charles Dickens
David Copperfield wasn’t in my TBR pile or even on my radar until I bought a copy of Demon Copperhead and realized I should probably read the original before I tackle the retelling.
I’m no stranger to 1800s Classic Literature, but Dickens always seemed a tad daunting. What I found was a fantastic Bildungsroman filled with a cast of characters that interacted in scenarios crafted perfectly throughout the book. Every scene and character had some part to play in the personal history of our narrator, and no stone was unturned that might leave plot holes.
Dickens has a way of making you hurt for the characters and what they go through and also root for them in every situation. Being able to become so immersed in a book from so long ago was a nice surprise.
