Finished the 800-plus page book, "David Copperfield" today.
I highlight below my conclusions- with all due respect to Mr. Dickens...
I highlight below my conclusions- with all due respect to Mr. Dickens...
- David Copperfield was a wimp of the highest order. Except when he gathered his guts and slapped Uriah Heep, that is.
- Dora- the BIGGEST nyakachundi in English literature I have EVER come across!
- Mr. Dick- the only interesting character to me.
- David should have ended up with Emily in the first place, instead of falling for an idiot like Dora. I mean, she couldn't even cook!
- Uriah Heep- sounds to me like an amalgamation of Severus Snape and Lord Voldemort.
- The last chapter is VERY well written!
- I loved the part where Copperfield's aunt told Heep to get on with what he was saying, and not make writhing gestures. Most hilarious!
- Found the Micawber sub-plot very boring, somehow.
- Hugh Grant would have been PERFECT for the role of Mr. Dick!
- On the whole, a pretty good book. I started off slightly biased, because I'm not too fond of classics. Yet I found I liked it, barring the negative conclusions.
