David Copperfield by Charles Dickens
5.0

A book of 368,000 words deserves a brief review:

Dickens and David Copperfield live up to every bit of their hype as this novel earned its heralded place in history. A wholesome masterpiece I never expected to enjoy so much, it's a gem and 175 year old forever relevant literary treasure.

Sidenote: because chapters were published every month, Dickens did not have the freedom to go back and alter plot lines. That technical consideration makes this achievement even greater.
