I think audiobooks are a fabulous way to consume the Victorian novelists. I've listened to several so far this year as part of one of my annual challenges and I'm enjoying the heck out of them. Like you, I hadn't really read them since my salad days; now they're going to go into my permanent repertory.
Dora is awful.
David Copperfield isn't among my favorite Dickens and Dickens isn't among my favorite Victorian novelists.
