DAVID COPPERFIELD

Charles Dickens's classic receives new life through Richard Armitage's adept narration. Dickens's novels, though epic, tend to be more heavy on character than on action, and Armitage skillfully draws listeners in. Young Copperfield's story takes him on an incredible journey that involves many trials and tribulations as well as dozens of memorable characters who help and hinder him. Armitage's ability to create so many unique characters-- including the villainous Mr. and Miss Murdstone, indomitable Betsy Trotwood, sweet little Emily, wicked Uriah Heep, and so many more--gives each one a life of his or her own. All in all, Richard Armitage creates an audio masterpiece. A.G.M. 2017 Audies Finalist © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2017]
