Summary: okay
Comment: I'm a junior in high school and I had to read Dickens's novel in my sophmore year. I liked it. It's my favorite book. When I first read it though, I wasn't looking forward to it. Dickens writes too much and uses a lot of big words. The entire first paragraph is practically one big sentence of how the name of the town Oliver was born in is not important. That's not a very good way to start a book a high school student has to read. The best parts of the book are with Fagin's gang, anything not about that tends to get boring.
Rating: 2
Summary: can you say overrated...
Comment: I here alot about how this book is a classic and how it has an amazing story, blah blah blah... Well, here's a view from a Freshman in HS. This book totally blows. It has some good moments during the action sequences, but in all honesty, Dickens makes this story way longer than it had to be by straying away from Oliver and the thieves. It's not exactly the most absorbing story to read. If your in HS and want a really good book, read Michael Crichton's "Timeline" (that's going to be a kick @$$ movie)or "Watership Down," 2 much more exciting adventure stories.

Summary: Oliver Twist...
Comment: I found it to be a well-drawn book; the storyline and the characters involved were very entertaining, particularly the story between Fagin and his charges. Although sometimes it tended to extend the text longer than needed and the constant switching between scenes made it hard to follow. But I do acknowledge that this may be due to my lack of patience and comprehension and may attempt reading it again in the latter of my years.
