Review by Piyangie
In your reading life you encounter all sorts of books; books you like; books you love, and books perhaps you wish not to have come your way. On rare occasions, you come across a book, which you feel privileged to have read. David Copperfield undoubtedly falls into this rare category. The book needs no praise from me. It is only yet another addition to the millions of readers who have loved and appreciated this great work from the time of its first publication.
Charles Dickens himself had said that David Copperfield was his "favourite (literary) child". All these are proof of the book's worth and greatness. Charles Dickens has written so many great books. There is no argument about it. But if he ever wrote a book with his whole heart and soul, it is David Copperfield. Even though I haven't read all his books,
I've read enough to be assured of that, for how it could be otherwise when it is almost autobiographic of the author? Dickens is well known for his clever and witty writing, his satirical observations on English society. But if Dickens is ever known for beautiful, passionate, and sincere writing, the credit falls upon David Copperfield.
