“A book that is hard to put down. Easily keeps the reader's interest.”

“This is a book I seem to like immensely when I am NOT reading it. I occasionally found my self bored with this book (David is not the most interesting character) but then found myself thinking about what I had read as I later went about my day. Bleak House carried me through to the end, I couldn't put it down, but David Copperfield is more subtle and continues to grow on me long after I finished the final pages. This is one I would like to re-read in a few years, with the creepy Heep, manic-depressive Mr. Micawber and the Hagrid-like Mr. Peggoty - this books has some of the best characters in English literature though my favorite is certainly the feisty Aunt Betsy "I am not going to be serpentined and corkscrewed out of my senses!"”

This was Dickens' favorite child and I have to say: the man knew his masterpiece. This book is everything I love about Dickens- his unique characters, the way you can see and hear Victorian London, the quiet protest. It tugs at your heart and makes you feel indignant.It makes you root for David Copperfield.
And I love Aunt Betsey.”
“One of my favorite stories by Charles Dickens. I loved to try and figure out how much of what he wrote came from his own experiences. The characters are so real and the story is a must-read.”

“I greatly enjoy Charles Dickens, in general. That said -- this book was too long. Also, I don't like Dora Spenlow. She's the only weak link in an otherwise good story. ”
