[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the early scenes are the worst because he's so young, so it's the most heartbreaking. It doesn't get more uplifting, but he gets older so it's (slightly) less disturbing. But I wouldn't say it gets any less bleak. I liked it overall. It's very similar to Hillbilly Elegy in terms of the content and takeaways, i.e. rural whites and their struggles. If you found HE tiresome (I did, a bit), you may find this a bit tiresome too. But it has a lot more nuance and subtlety. I enjoyed the fact that it was the David Copperfield story - [b]it's fun to see how she updates the various characters and themes[/b].[/quote] It was surprising how much of David Copperfield I remembered as I was listening to the book. Knowing what was coming didn't detract from the story for the reason bolded. [/quote]
