David Copperfield

If any of you have ever read David Copperfield, I readily commend you. Yet, I would be more impressed if you read it and enjoyed it. Typically, I wouldn't have read David Copperfield. The book itself is rather daunting with 870 pages. But it was a school assignment, so there was no option. I began the book enthusiastically but suddenly discovered that the book was slow. The story seemed to cover every single day in his life. I couldn't believe it! Now many people out there seem to consider this as Charles Dickens greatest work. I am not one of them. I have decided to simply stick to "A Christmas Carol". But I won't discourage you completely. As Michaela said after reading it. "It's a good story, I just wish it was a little shorter." My advice to you is, read the abridged version (if it won't bother your conscience).
