Audio Book Summary

David Copperfield is the quintessential novel by England's most beloved novelist. Based in part on Dickens's own life, it is the story of a young man's journey from an unhappy and impoverished childhood to the discovery of his vocation as a successful novelist. Among its gloriously vivid cast of characters, he encounters his tyrannical stepfather, Mr. Murdstone; his formidable aunt, Betsey Trotwood; the eternally humble yet treacherous Uriah Heep; the frivolous, enchanting Dora; and one of literature's great comic creations, the magnificently impecunious Mr. Micawber-a character resembling Dickens's own father.

In David Copperfield-the novel he described as his 'favorite child'-Dickens drew revealingly on his own experiences to create one of his most exuberant and enduringly popular works, filled with tragedy and comedy in equal measure.

    The narrator, Simon Vance, is amazing, able to voice all the different characters so convincingly that we see them in our mind's eye as distinct characters we would know immediately if we heard them speaking several feet away at a cocktail party.

    Had no idea this book would be so genuinely funny and clever, even amidst all the melodrama. Both the novel and Simon Vance were first rate.

    Always wanted to read this and glad I finally have listened to it. Slower then a modern book but well worth the time.

    A great story, well written and brilliantly narrated (thank you Simon Vance). Some might find it long winded compared to modern stories but I think the Victorians were rather verbose as evidenced in other books of the era. However, listening time is 34 hours not 10 as stated in the book details but it is well worth the time.

    I was so entranced by this book, I laughed out loud, I literally cried real tears more than once - possibly the best book that I've I've ever read. I cannot recommend it more highly. The narrator was brilliant.
