A review by jenjenjeng
Oliver Twist [Adaptation] by Charles Dickens, Les Martin
1.0
Did not finish.
I know this was written a long time ago but I found it offensive. He constantly refers to Fagin as the Jew (and not in a positive manner). No other character is referred in such a manner. He did it with another character in the book calling him the Jew too. But this character was only referenced once so far. Why bother giving Fagin a name if you are going to call him the Jew. And how upon meeting him does Oliver Twist know he was a Jew.
I did some research and apparently Dickens reduced the number of references to Fagin as a Jew.
