I found myself zoning out, especially during monologues. I loved every page of it, it's a little bit sad but still a great book. Overall Performance: Narration Rating: Story Rating:.I would say this is a must read for a well rounded reader." Dickens makes a good and readable social critique of his time. It is also an interesting portrayal of the environment that poverty striken people were forced into. I especially liked the vivid descriptions of people and places. It was the first Dickens one i read in high school and made me want to read other books by him. ![]() At the heart of the drama, however, is Oliver, the orphan whose unsullied goodness leads him to salvation, and who represents Dickens’ belief in the principle of good triumphing at last. A novel with autobiographical overtones, this was the first of Dickens’ works to realistically portray London’s impoverished underworld and to illustrate his belief that poverty leads to crime. There, he is thrust into a den of thieves where some of Dickens’ most depraved villains preside: the incorrigible Artful Dodger, the barbarous bully Bill Sikes, and the terrible Fagin, whose knavery threatens to send them all to the gallows. One of Dickens’ most popular novels, Oliver Twist tells the story of a young workhouse orphan who escapes into the mean backstreets of Victorian London. ![]()
