Did ...Funny you should say that about Harry Potter. Did you know that Daniel Radcliffe played David in the UK TV version? It was his first (and I think only?) role before he landed HP.<BR/>Trivia, sorry. I read David Copperfield when 11. They gave us an abridged version at school called "David Copperfield as a boy" and my mother was so disgusted she bought me the full version and gave it me to read so I did. I think I quite enjoyed it, but I have forgotten most of it.<BR/><BR/>I fairly recently read Little Dorrit, Our Mutual Friend, Martin Chuzzlewit and Bleak House. I did get into them all but they all had their longeurs. I think Our Mutual Friend was my favourite of those. They all seem to feature these amazingly stoical, "accepting" heroines.<BR/><BR/>Again, I read Great Expectations when very young, I don't think I really understood it, so look forward to your review.Maxine Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06628509319992204770noreply@blogger.com
