Oliver is an orphan who gets involved with some criminals and ends up in a life of poverty and crime in 1800s London.
This is a classic novel by Charles Dickens that I think most people have heard about. It is on my TBR list of "100 Epic Reads of A Lifetime." I actually think that Dickens writing is more approachable than some of the other classic writers (looking at you James Joyce). There were a lot of points where the story gets bogged down and is very boring, but for the most part I was able to stay focused and knew what was going on. Great Expectations is still my favorite Dickens novel
