Oliver Twist

Oliver Twist was probably not the right Dickens book to start with. I did not really enjoy reading this book and in fact only finished it because "it was on my list". It was nice to make connections to popular sayings that originated in the story and I can honestly say that since reading this book that I have been able to discuss it in social settings more than once. Like a lot of Charles Dickens books, Oliver Twist was a brick to get through. The language was not hard to decipher and the story was not hard to follow but it was really very long and in a lot of places very dull. I am glad that I finished it and I am glad that since, I have read other books by Charles Dickens that were a lot better. I would suggest reading this book somewhere in the middle of his other books. There are many way better!
