Oliver Twist is a classic, and I can see why. As with all classics, I know that the writing and language can be outdated, but the main content of the book was an enjoyable read. While some bits of it were quite dark I’d say, it contrasted well with some of the more lighthearted scenes. It did feel like a long read but it makes sense as the story was originally periodical releases in a magazine

DNF at 30% on the dramatized audiobook. I much prefer a narrator who reads what the author actually wrote.

God help me, but I cannot help but love Dickens’s penchant for highly improbable coincidences, reversals of fortune, and happy endings, and all of these are perfectly exemplified in Oliver Twist, which while not the best work of Dickens is nonetheless a delight.
