Summary

Charles Dickens' classic novel David Copperfield is loosely based on the life of the author. It tells the story of David Copperfield’s life from childhood to adulthood with all of the hardships, changes, and good fortune that David encounters on his life journey.

It focuses on the relationships he develops with a huge cast of characters who he meets as he travels from rags to riches and back again.

The book was serialized before it was first published in book form in 1850. Dickens is beloved for his complex rags-to-riches stories; realistic, sympathetic views of class disparities and poverty; and unforgettable characters like David.

Change to AI narration near the end of the book

I loved the story and the narration was good until near the end of the book (chapter 60) when the narration appears to switch to AI. It confused me a bit at first because the voice was very similar but the pauses were wrong and the accent slipped to American on words such as ‘Papa’. AI didn’t change the voices at all when different characters were speaking so it became hard to follow. It turns out AI isn’t up to reading Dickens yet! Very frustrating as I had to give up on it.
