David Copperfield (Adaptation): Oxford Bookworms Library Audiobook (Unabridged)

" This is a book that I've been avoiding for years, just because it looked boring. However, Dickens never fails to amaze, and I thoroughly enjoyed the novel. Boo Uriah Heep! "

" I believe this was one of the most autobiographical novels by Dickens. Still, the novel is in the author's voice (e.g. quirky characters, dialogue, etc.) and ran a bit too long for my taste. "

" BROKE THE DICKENS CURSE AND FINALLY FINISHED A DICKENS BOOK!!!! "

" Love this book. Have prob read a dozen times. "

" With Dickens' 200th birthday recently, I decided it was time to read him again. This is supposedly the closest he came to an autobiographical novel. It's funny, clever, alarming and so entertaining. Also really long, but that's OK. "

" I did not finish. Got halfway through and gave up. Just didn't feel anything for anyone in this book and I felt there wasn't a strand of narrative I could grab hold of. I wanted to suffer through to the end, but I feel like why read another 400 pages of something I am not enjoying? "

" it was very wonderful experience reading this book "

" Remember only parts from h.s reading it. "

" I read this aloud in English class in Grade 8!!! Only 3 students in the class could read in English... the rest of the students still have no idea what this book is about! Thanks, Mlle Pelletier for introducing me to great literature! "

" The one that I have & read was taken at school, therefor it was summed up and shrunk into less than a hundred-page book. Therefor I only got the story. And I won't be a fair judge. "

" Oh my liver, oh my lungs, why wasn't this in my shelf already, goroo, goroo! Oh my liver, I love Dickens, oh my lungs, this is my favorite, goroo goroo! Oh five stars, oh goroo! "

" A miserable story told in an amusing way... "

" Took me a while (it's over 1200 pages) but a great writer and story. Not my favorite Dickens but well worth the read. So many characters that I embraced and loved - and equally detested all the "villains!" "

" This is an epic novel. You follow this boy through his entire life, through many ups and downs, and when all is said and done, you are left with the distinct feeling that you have been through a lot with these characters. "

" Not an easy read. Not sure how I feel about it yet. One thing - horribly sexist and very class elitist. "

" Having been "made" to read this as a small person, I wasn't sure how I'd like it as an adult. But it was wonderful. Dickens can be a little wordy at times but all in all it's a great tale and worth a re-read. "

" The book takes awhile to read, but you grow attached to the characters. "

" It's a great book and story. "

" For Dickens lovers.... A good read into historical times. "

" I need to read more Dickens--the guy was an absolute genius. He sees inside and exposes both the darkest and most sublimely spiritual sides of human nature and I walk away from his works a better person--every time. "

" David Copperfield comes to life in this audio book read by Nicholas Boulton. It's been awhile since I had read any Dickens and had forgotten the poignancy of his writing. "

" First Dickens for me. I really liked it. "

" so fun and rollicking! gets kind of draggy at the end. but the rest is delightful. as ross said, it's a little bit like "a series of unfortunate events." it did make me think a lot about class, gender, and subjectivity. interested to read some critical essays. "

" Two words: Daniel Peggoty. Favorite character of all time. "

" This book was not as predictable as I expected it to be. A very smooth and entertaining read. "

" Definitely prefer Great Expectations to this one. Hard to believe that some people find this to be Dickens's greatest novel. "

" Sometimes a bit rambling, but that is why we read Dickens! "

" I've read my share of books...and this is my favorite of all time. "

" I found it to be rather tedious and i was unable to finish it though I got past the midway point. "Great Expectations" was much better. Date read is a guess. "

" An excellent sad story of a young boy. I read it around 10 years ago from now when I was in high school. Touches young hearts to make a memorable mark. I would love to read it all over again. "

" Whaddaya mean, you've never read any Dickens? What are you, crazy?? Read it, already!!! "

" Finished this and like all other Dickens, loved it from beginning to end. I just knocked off a star due to his wordiness. Less would have been more, but how many perfect books can one person write in a lifetime? "

" The plot was fairly predictable, but I felt like the plot was just a means to create some fantastic characters. There were some really beautiful moments, too. "
