Oliver Twist (version 3) |
---|
Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens is a timeless classic that tells the story of a young orphan boy who struggles to survive in the harsh streets of London. The novel paints a vivid picture of 19th-century England, highlighting the social injustices and inequalities of the time.
One of the most striking aspects of the book is Dickens' skillful characterization. Oliver is a sympathetic protagonist, constantly at the mercy of cruel and manipulative adults. The supporting cast of characters, from the loathsome Fagin to the kind-hearted Mr. Brownlow, are equally memorable and add depth to the story.
Dickens' writing is both rich and evocative, immersing the reader in the sights and sounds of Victorian London. The novel expertly blends moments of humor and humanity with moments of darkness and despair, creating a compelling and unforgettable narrative.
Overall, Oliver Twist is a moving and thought-provoking tale that explores themes of poverty, morality, and redemption. It is a must-read for anyone who enjoys classic literature and wants to delve into the complexities of the human experience. Book Description: |

Reviewer: Biased Perspective - April 4, 2021 Subject: Absolutely wonderful Do not listen to the reviewer "April," as you can listen to the first chapter and instantly note the narrator is superb. An amazing story and how the narrator keeps the voices straight and without pause is simply nothing less than amazing. |
Reviewer: April - December 9, 2019 Subject: Oliver Twist The voices of the narrator were mostly awful, especially the women's voices... and he reads too slow so it takes far longer than it should to finish the book. |
