I read Great Expectations years ago, but after reading that David Copperfield was Dicken's personal favorite book he had authored, I decided to try him again. From the beginning of the book, I was swept up in the ever changing lives of the central characters. I can understand why people waited anxiously for the next chapter when this book was released serially back in 1849 & 1850! There are many dramatic buildups and twists and turns that keep you turning the pages and wondering how it will all turn out.

In this remarkabe novel, Dickens created an incredible cast of characters and painted a vivid portrait of 19th-century England. The characters are complex and interesting, and I found it satisfying that the characters who are courageous enough to choose love over pride are ultimately rewarded.

If you are going to only read one book by Dickens, this is the one to choose. It is very interesting, memorable, and well written.

It has boggled my mind how some people can straight-facedly claim, with incorrect spelling and in poor grammar no less, that 'David Copperfield' was either boring, stupid, or both. I am a young man (not yet in my twenties) and I found 'Copperfield' to be the most emotionally powerful book I have ever read, if not necessarily the best written.
'Copperfield' marks a bold step forward in Dickens' writing, both in terms of diction (though his syntax never changes throughout his career) and its use thereof in advancing and establishing multiple moods during the course of the book. From the grim severity of Murdstone's dominance over David's mother, to the unexpected charity and kindness of David's Aunt, to the shadowy, damp, foreboding deaths of several main characters throughout the course of the book, the tone of the writing conveys, powerfully and with undeniable precision, the appropriate mood and instills the reader with exactly the emotion that should be felt. Even the marriages and losses of minor characters shrouds the reader in exactly the right blanket of rejoicing or of sorrow. There is more symbolism both unabashedly apparent and subtly bestowed here than in any of Dickens' previous novels.
There is a reason why this book is considered a classic - the dialogue is crisp and believable, the characters not so much caricatures as they had been in novels past, but more plausible and defined (the despicable Uriah Heep being perhaps the sole exception). The impact apparent in the betrayal, death, and ultimate good fortune so prominent in the book is not lost on the reader, as it would be in the hands of lesser writers. The lone points in the novel where I found my mind to wander were during Mr. Micawber's lengthy expositions, in which he is supposed to be comically exaggerated but instead comes off as something of a blowhard, simply an over-enthusiastic debtor with a knack for paperwork. Otherwise, this book is one of undeniable and irrepressible strength and fervor, from David's fated escape from the factory to Agnes' memorable proclamation; the whole novel works in remarkable symphony to create something better than just a book. It becomes an experience. For those who cannot quite grasp the genius and subtleties of Dickens's work, who complain because it is a little lengthy or a little old-fashioned, I feel sorry. They will never know how much bigger 'David Copperfield' - both the novel and the character - is than them.

David Copperfield is the worstest, most boringest, non-shinyest/dullest Book ?(if you can call it that)? that I ever haven't read. If I could, I'd make the official maker of Brian Land read it over and over and over again, just to keep him at bay.

This DVD will show you once and for all why DAVID COPPERFIELD is the Greatest Magician of Our Time! Combining every possible element of theatre, (i.e. Lighting, Choreography, Music, etc...), Mr. Copperfield has truly changed the way that our generation has embraced the Art of MAGIC! Allowing himself to change with the times, he has consistantly kept his Magic & Illusions Fresh & up to date with the ever changing entertainment industry! It is without any hesitation that I reccommend this DVD to Anyone who Loves Magic! Bravo Mr. Copperfield, BRAVO!

David Copperfield is one of the best magicians in the world today. His showmanship and presentation skills are brilliant. He performs everything from close up to grand illusions.
If I'm in a bad mood, I will watch Copperfield perform and I feel so much better. I cant recommend this enough. Its the best magic DVD out there. Buy it, you wont regret it.

If i could give this 6 stars, I would. Hands down, this is the best Magic/Illusion DVD ever. It has all of David Copperfield's most incredible illusions. I've had the pleasure of seeing him live a few times, and nothing sums up his career better than this DVD. Not only does it feature his greatest illusions, it also has a ton of extras. It has audio commentary by the man himself, television trailers, facts on Copperfield, a tour of his museum, and much more. It all adds up to over 2 hours of bonus features. You can't beat that with a stick. Whether you are a fan of Copperfield or just love illusions and magic, this is the DVD for you.
