David Copperfield has not had an easy life. After his mother marries strict Mr. Murdstone and he is sent to school, he has no choice but to adapt to this new life. ALong the way he creates new relationships, such as Dora, his future childish wife, Agnes, a dear friend, and Steerforth, an old school friend who supports David. When his mother dies, he learns how to make a living, and then seeks help from another relative, Aunt Betsey, who takes in David as if he were her son. Soon enough, Agnes comes running for David's advice, as her father's business is being threatened by a greedy Uriah Heep, who is taking advantage of the old man. How will David help Agnes? Will he crumble under the pressure, or will he fight through the obstacles and finally settle down with a job? To find out, read David Copperfield. I enjoyed the numerous plot twists in the book, and how David showed that he would never let anything anyone said to him take him down. I recommend this book to anyone who loves a good book. This book was a 4 out of 5 stars.
