Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens, Ric Estrada, Marian Leighton
2.0

Ok, but definitely not for me. Honestly, if I wasn't on a kick to read classics, I probably wouldn't have finished this one.

The story was ok. Once I arrived at the end and it all came full circle, I was happier with it. However, the way it was written was tough to follow so my mind wandered a lot mid-chapter. Oliver was a sweet boy that fell into hardship at the hand of many, so he was likeable but I struggled with how the story became about everyone around him. I missed him being more central to the story over the scheming of others. Though I did enjoy a couple of the side characters.
