       To me this is Dicken's best novel.  As in all of his writings there are characters that are simply unforgettable such as Betsy Trotwood, Mr Micawber, and Uriah Heep.  There is also his usual blend of plot twists and as in real life, every story line doesn't end up as a happily ever after (though most do here!).  If is the life story of the protaganist David Copperfield - a boy who starts life with no advantages and through luck, pluck, and the charity of others not only perseveres, but eventually thrives.  If you enjoy reading this its' a great book to keep you enthralled for hours.  Because of some of the outdated nomenclature I recommend getting one of these books that is annotated to explain some of the more outdated terms to the reader.

       One of the best books ever written, especially because the story is beautiful and touchy, but no where did this touchiness get wierd - The typical genius of Charles when it comes to a story like this.

       This is a story of David Copperfield, a boy who loses his dad even before his birth. his mom then marries a Mr. Murdstone, who then sends him off to a boarding school in London.  We then get to follow young David's transition from a child of 10 years up and into the end of the book.  His mother dies, he ends up falling in love more times than we can count, from little emily, dora to the irresistable agnes, upon whose words david finds enlightment.  Another of the rather spectacular characters is Ms. Trotwood, David's aunt, and her imaginary neice Betsey Trotwood.  The story is composed  of the young David, who being acepted by his aunt as an adopted son, tries to begin life anew, after running away from his job at the age of 12.  He then meets up with agnes, the 'sister of his childhood' and his old school friend and idol steerforth.  After that, graduating from college and choosing a proffesion, he soon falls in love with his boss's daughter, Dora, and ends up marrying her after her father's death.  The rest of the story is left for you to read.

       This story is that should be read by people who enjoy intresting, happy, and full of affection climaxes.  It is a story in which a typical life of a young, inexperienced boy is turned into a determined, fully grown man.  A story that I recommend anyone to read if he wants a good, excellent read.  A rating of 9.5 out of 10 from me.
