Charles Dickens - David Copperfield - 8

Post by StefanY »

David Copperfield



Wow, I am pleasantly surprised!

I have to admit, when I saw that we were reading David Copperfield in class I was dreading it.However, I was pleased to discover how much I enjoyed it. I had always heard horror stories about how dry and boring Charles Dickens' novels were. Those reviews were very inaccurate to say the least.

Admittedly, there are times when the text seems to get a bit wordy and drag on a bit, but overall I thought that this was a very entertaining read. The novel is chock full of wonderfully created characters; each built in with his or her own quirks. I was surprised to find so much humor throughout the novel as well. I had been expecting such a boring read that I was caught off guard and laughed out loud early on in the book. David's adventures (and misadventures) are definitely worth the effort and I will be reading this book (and other Dickens novels) in the near future.
