Publisher's Summary
Between his work on the 2014 Audible Audiobook of the Year, Hamlet, Prince of Denmark: A Novel, and his performance of Classic Love Poems, narrator Richard Armitage (The Hobbit, Hannibal) has quickly become a listener favorite. Now, in this defining performance of Charles Dickens' classic David Copperfield, Armitage lends his unique voice and interpretation, truly inhabiting each character and bringing real energy to the life of one of Dickens' most famous characters.
This epic, exuberant novel is one of the greatest coming-of-age stories in literature, chronicling David Copperfield's extraordinary journey through life as he encounters villains, saviors, eccentrics, and grotesques - including the wicked Mr. Murdstone, stouthearted Peggotty, formidable Betsey Trotwood, impecunious Micawber, and the odious Uriah Heep. Dickens' great novel (based, in part, on his own boyhood and which he described as a "favorite child") is a work filled with life, both comic and tragic.
Listen to Richard Armitage bring Dickens' words to life, and you'll understand why Virginia Woolf called David Copperfield "the most perfect of all the Dickens novels".

Outstanding Narration
This book was the best 35 hours of my summer. I've never been disappointed in anything that Armitage narrates. He is fabulous. And I certainly don't need to endorse Dickens. What a great combination of talent. #Audible1

My new favourite story!
The reading really added to the impact. Very well done. It’s a long story but I’m sad it’s over. A couple of the voices were annoying but that’s because those people were supposed to grate on your nerves. The good people in his life were full of appreciation and uplifting. Very glad I bought and listened to this story.

Narration is excellent.
It's a classic. we all "know it", but to hear it makes the story easier to follow then reading it. the narration is excellent.

Riveting!
I have only read a few books by Dickens and that was when I was in high school many years ago. I was amazed at how David Copperfield took over my life! I couldn’t put it down. The story is wonderful and each chapter ends as a page-turner. It is very easy to understand that this book was serialized before it was published as a novel. The characters are unforgettable and the narration by Richard Armitage is perfect. It’s one of those books that leave you with a sense of loss when it is finished.

Wholesome, would recommend
The book is long but oh so wholesome. The plot is steady, the way Charles entices empathy from the reader for all his characters from stern to loopy is magical. The narrator brought the words to life, I'm very happy to have spent my time on this novel.

Blown Away!
David Copperfied is one of my most favourite books of all time/. I love Dickens. I never thought that an audiobook could match what my imagination would conjure when reading the book. I was wrong. Richard Armitage is masterful. If you love this book, you have a whole other way to love it even more. It’s a must listen.

Praise to Richard Armitage
Having just finished this book I am thoroughly taken aback by Richard Armitage's abilities as a voice actor. I have watched Castlevania and listened to his reading of Dr Jekyl and Mr. Hyde and yet this performance was on another level. His skill in making each character voice unique makes the listen so enjoyable. I would put him on par with Ray Porter for his adaptability.
To add to that this has been my favourite Dickensian novel so far. Memorable characters, a well paced plot with great denouement and the funniest dialogue I've heard in a book. (The scene wherein one particular character admonishes a certain antagonist is possibly the funniest scene in literature.)
I cannot recommend this book enough for any fans of English literature.
