Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens

4.0

I'd read Great Expectations some time ago and enjoyed it very much, so I decided to read Oliver Twist, expecting a similar story. I found the tone at the beginning of the novel very satirical through its provision of critical social commentary on the age that Dickens lived in, and its treatment of poor and orphaned children. However, as the novel develops, Dickens then takes up his trademark tone, with his memorable characters and intertwining story-lines that converge by the novel's end.
