Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens
2.0
I'm not heartless, but I just like other Dickens better. And yes, I'm squeamish when it comes to violence. I didn't expect it from Dickens, for some reason, so it got me in the gut when I wasn't expecting it. I knew the plot, I knew what happened, I just thought, Oh it's Victorian, so it will be implied or something. Nope.
Also, while for some reason the sentimental resolutions were fine for me in Nickleby (maybe because the whole thing was such a farce from beginning to end), in Twist it annoyed me. I will probably give it another go someday but only if I've read every other Dickens novel in print first.
