I read this because I felt stupid for not reading it... I mean, I know it sounds weird. I am a big bookworm and I believe that old books and classics should be read because they tell us a lot about society in the past, especially the ones written by famous writers like Charles Dickens. I have only read Hard Times before this, so I gave Oliver Twist a try. I had the original copy but it went way too long... the audiobook was well too but I saw this short one in the library so I went with it, lol. It was dark at times and hell some died in pretty freaky ways... Oliver was way too innocent and kind, I mean he had all the reasons to turn evil or something but he didn't. Sometimes he even seemed too dumb like he didn't even notice that they were thieves and stealing even though it was soo obvious! I guess that's how Dickinson wanted him to be. London back then must have been horrible and people were punished by getting hooked publically and dying... Anyways this is my take but I did appreciate it as an old treasure!
