You definitely don't need to read David Copperfield first, but there is a certain delight you get to seeing how Barbara Kingsolver approached various characters and events in the book, including the original book covers of both. My favorite was Agnes (Angus in Demon Copperhead) and there are several instances that Barbara throws in some very creative twists where she truly flexes her talent I don't think I would have appreciated these twists as much if you haven't read the original.(less)
