Here I am, a senior, just started reading David Copperfield, and being a book addict, this is one of the most enthralling novels I have read in ages. And to think its a classic that transports the reader to another time and place. Dickens wrote some long books, that I bought and are waiting to be enjoyed. Truly, great books and singers, movies etc. are timeless. Thank goodness these gifts given by these amazing people can still be loved today. As a note, these Wordsworth editions deserve praise as well. Very well made, attractive, easy to read all for remarkable prices.

As expected

Great quality paper, includes illustrations, and a great book all around. The cover photo looks like an uninspired blurry stock image, but it cost me $4 only so I wouldn’t dream of complaining.

So far so good. I have read a good bit of Dickens, and this is good so far. A bit wordy.

Too early to give a good grade. It is a long one with very small print.

I would say, go for it.

A brilliant read. Found Dickens difficult to read when I was young but found, having read the abridged version first, I really enjoyed this extremely entertaining novel and could appreciate and enjoy it so much more. Amazing characters and will probably read this novel over and over again.

A very long delightful read. Dickens at his finest. Cannot recommend highly enough. 5+ Stars.

I don't remember the last time I read "David Copperfield." I've heard it said that this book of Dickens' is somewhat autobiographical, but I don't know for sure. One thing I've enjoyed since I bought my 3 Wordsworth Classics is the exposure to 18th century English culture through Dickens' wonderful prose. "David Copperfield" will have to wait until "Oliver Twist" and "Great Expectations" had been read through first.

I enjoyed Oliver Twist so decided to tackle David Copperfield. I couldnt put it down. Dickens is a compelling storyteller that has endured generations. His characters come alive and you know them. His descriptive writing puts the reader in the story.

Good quality

I wish there was a way to rate book content and its print separately because this book is a 5 star classic but the print is a 2.

In general, I like these cheap and compact Wordsworth Editions classics and I'm almost happy with most of them so far but, I feel like in this one they went way too far in trying to make it compact with a font that hurts my eyes after reading it for half an hour. I'd just split it in two books or add more pages with a bigger font. I'm considering buying another copy otherwise, I'm pretty sure I'll end up wearing glasses after finishing this book!

Dickens has described this as his favourite character. And indeed, I liked David Copperfield myself (although my favourite is Mr Pickwick, of Pickwick Papers). The book as a whole is excellent. So many engaging characters, and a superb storyline. I watched the story serialised on BBC tv years ago, and was amazed that Uriah Heap was just as (falsely) grovelling, and Dora just as irritating as in the tv series. But it really is a wonderful book, and well worth reading. I will definitely read it again. Highly recommended.
