Oliver Twist

The tale is so heart-touching!

Love this book, a nice taste of the 1800's.

I don't know, it was bought for our students to read

Nothing against the novel but I hoped this edition would have a decent size font due to the size of the book which is a bit large but the font was even smaller than I imagined. Probably a size 6 or 7 font. Going to find another version

A boy is born in a small town and after the birth his mother dies. No one knowing where his mother came from this boy, Oliver Twist, becomes an orphan. Like many poor orphans at the time the story takes place Oliver is treated badly and luck never seems to be on his side.He decides that he won‘t take this any longer and runs away to London to seek a new life there.But in London he falls into the wrong crowd and gets involved with criminals and thieves.Not liking the company any better than of his former tormentors Oliver wishes for kind and honest friends.He wants to escape from the grip of the thieves. But is there a hidden reason for why they hold on to Oliver so tightly, could Oliver be something more than just another orphan?I liked the variety of characters, there were both villains and thieves that only cared for themselves and then there were people that were kind hearted and helpful.There is also a mystery to the story about where Oliver really came from. And it‘s interesting to wonder what the thieves are always scheming about.

printed on paper similar to toilet paper.

The pages in this book looks like they were cut with dull scissors! Horrible purchase!
