A review by orangeblood
David Copperfield by Charles Dickens

5.0

Outstanding. I sometimes think about how I’ll rate a book as I’m reading or listening, and for the first part I had a four-star rating in mind. But the characters and plot just developed so well that I frankly spent the second half of the book in awe of Dickens’ abilities. Full of quotable quotes and beautifully descriptive writing, the only quibble I have is with some of the (too) amazing coincidences that play out, but they wind up being what you want to happen anyway.
