susieliston 's review for:

David Copperfield by Charles Dickens

4.0

---

Took me ages to get through this but since I know the story already I could put it aside to read other things. (I would love to have read it without any familiarity) So much to love here. Yes, it's wordy, it was a Victorian novel that was serialized , of course it's wordy. But what characters, I can't think of another book with such a collection. I'm now itching to go watch the movie again (the 1935 Selznick version....Basil Rathbone IS Mr Murdstone..)
