Absorbing story expertly narrated

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.

Great Voices!

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!

I really enjoyed it!!

This is totally enjoyable even though I have read the book before, listening to the audio was great.
If audible books are like Daved Copperfield (Unabridged), then I will continue to purchase them.

Excellent listen

This was an excellent listen. The narrator did a fabulous job with pace, diction, and especially characterization. I highly recommend it.

Perfection

My favourite of all the Dickens books, and Martin Jarvis is indeed the master of narration. I was sorry when this audio book ended. The characters come alive under the skill of the writer and the skill of the narrator. Loved it so so much!
