I was a real pleasure listening to this book. Martin Jarvis is a master. He is perhaps my favorite narrator of all. His voice is lovely, and he has created a dozen or so unique character voices that he somehow manages to keep straight throughout. Moreover, he moves effortlessly between character and narrator, giving us a seamless listen.

The story itself is so rich in description and detail that I am transported body and soul to Victorian England. The dialog is beautifully written and makes me yearn for the gentility of centuries past.

Highly recommended.

Absorbing story expertly narrated

Copperfield is, of course, widely regarded as Dickens' best story and this is a great version of it. This narrator has a remarkable range of accents and voices and he maintains them in amazing consistency. Even if the story was not very good the narration would carry it forward. Barvo!

Great Voices!

Martin Jarvis is an excellent narrator! This is a wonderful tale, and very long novel to listen to, To thoroughly enjoy it, you need to settle in to a narrator that has keeps you engaged. Martin Jarvis does this to perfection. His different voices of the characters are all unique and "performed" so very well. His energy level throughout the novel is inspiring. I can hardly imagine the countless hours of preparation required to read this 34 hour novel so flawlessly. You will love this reading of David Copperfield.

Outstanding Performance by Martin Jarvis!!

I guess at one time or another everyone has read "David Copperfield" but you must listen to this version.. I simply cannot say enough about the masterful performance of Martis Javis!! Each character is distinct and wonderfully portrayed and the words fall soothingly on your ears.. I could not have enjoyed it more if I had been watching it played out before me.. We all know the genius of Charles Dickens and because of the performance of Martin Javis, I will be listening to the other works of Dickens as narrated by Martin Javis.. Thank you Audible!!

A MUST LISTEN!!
