A review by librariandest
Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens
2.0
I really liked listening to Great Expectations and David Copperfield, so I expected to like this as well. And I did! Until I got about halfway through and completely lost interest. I made it as far as Oliver living with Mrs. Maylie. I knew Nancy's death was coming and it was bumming me out so I decided to just quit.
Perhaps I will come back to this someday, but I think I read enough to know that this is not Dickens' best. Oliver is a boring character. The best part is Dickens pointing out how completely unfair the world is for the poor. Fagin calling everyone "my dear" will haunt me, as well as him being constantly referred to as "the Jew."
