Oliver Twist Audiobook

" I think this is a really good book. I loved every page of it, it's a little bit sad but still a great book. "

" Oliver Twist was a struggle. I found myself zoning out, especially during monologues. Occasionally you see a glimmer of his later skill at turning a phrase, but dialog is horrendous. I suppose Dickens can be forgiven to some degree since Oliver was one of his first works. Don't judge Dickens by Oliver Twist. I really enjoyed A Tale of Two Cities and Great Expectations. "

" read it when i was a child :) "

" It is an amazing book "

" Really love it. It has many sorrow feelings , but It end with happy :) "

" An extra star for the baddies and specially Fagin, because little Oliver is just an annoying whimp, really... "

" Love this story. I wonder if I'd have the same response if I weren't adopted. I'm Oliver Twist. "

" for me, this book was just soooooo sloooooow. "

" I cheated a little bit. I listened to it read since whenever I've tried reading this book, I've always struggled with Dickens's thought process and sentence structure. Having listened to this book, however, I really enjoyed Dickens's writing style. "

" Good novel of an orphan who gets mixed up with pickpockets. I liked the musical too. Dickens is good at making memorable characters! "

" Excellent read. Dicken's 19th century continues to exist today. Not much has changed since. The bad people are still around, but how many good ones are left? How many people are willing to take in Oliver and give him a chance to become the decent individual he is meant to be? And the government? The authorities? The people in charge? Haven't changed a bit! "

" It was good... But yet I have read it a long time ago "

" Classic, of course. Not an easy read though. "

" I adore this book! It has every component for a good book .it is engaging ,funny ,witty, sad , exciting ...oh I could go on! "

" It was an uphill battle, but I managed. "

" I am a fan of Dickens even though he is so verbose. I enjoy his form of satire concerning the socioeconomic state of London during this time. People pretend to care about those who are poor and hungry yet do nothing to care for them. In fact, some people try their hardest to rob from these people. The first half of the book made me extremely sad, because nothing could go right for Oliver. But I found the conclusion of this book highly satisfying. "

" A boy who separated with his mother. He lived in cruel-boarding house which there's many cruel-people around him! Bahagia, juga terharu mengetahui siapakah Oliver sebenarnya dan masa lalu ibunya "

" I read it in Arabic as a kid. Loved it. "

" An old story: predictable at worst, charming at best. But the story is not the whole; the prose is sublime. "

" Dickens is a brilliant writer and I am very much looking forward to reading more of his books for my class. "

" I don't know made this worse; a protagonist without any influence on the story, or the how I started imagining Fagin as a horribly-wrong jar-jar binks-esque character. Either way, this wasn't good, and while I've been told that later Dickens is better, I've obviously got reason to be more selective in the future. "

" This was a very good read. The characters were brilliant and I can't think of any dull moments off the top of my head. It was all about being preachy, so only read this if you want to cry about poor orphan boys. "

" Excellent book, and the very first of Charles Dickens I have ever read. That made it a special treat. His chapters are long and his characters are extensively characterized. No doubt about that one. His style seems slow as you start his book, but I began to be drawn in by the characters as I got to know them. By the end, I had a real appreciation of Dickens. Next up, the Pickwick Papers and may end up reading all of his books. "

" This story is about an orphan boy, Oliver, who runs away from the workhouse so he can be taken in by a group of bad people also known as thieves. It was not a book that made me not put it down I read it for an english lesson in school. I thought the movie was better. "

" Great story, the way Dickens writes is utterly satiric and humorous. Obviously not meant to be a Bildungsroman type of novel, so why try to pigeonhole it by that form of literary criticism? A great critique on Victorian society and certainly entertaining. "

" Damn I found this a bit tough to read the first time. Thank god for the dictionary. "

" I love Dickens' plot lines, but his writing style is so convoluted and wordy!! So hard to follow! This one in particular requires a lot of backstory knowledge about the British systems of the time that he's satirizing. Not my favorite. "

" I was lookin for a fat book to read on my vacaction and found this fatty! I found out this is not my type of peasure read, the hard way :( "

" I loved this book and its perspective on poverty and human character. "

" I liked the story. I was not very good at deciphering the old British dialect & writing style. "

" This was the first Dickens I've read. I really enjoyed this book and am anxious to read more works by Charles Dickens. "

" Read it awhile ago, high school actually but I really liked it. "

" One of my all time fav's !!! Truly shows how dark Dickens actually was . "

" Such a feel good novel when life life seems like it is overwhelming this will help you feel better "

" Oliver Twist written by Charles Dickens is a good novel about a child who went from house to house who was unwanted most of his life. It was a good book, but was a bit difficult to understand because of the century difference, but however i still enjoyed the overall story line. "

" love it :) ..... most touchy quote when oliver was selected as to ask for more to eat ..(please sir I want some more) I have read it since I was twelve and when I hear oliver twist I remember this quote, and at the end of the novel when the chrurch bells rang ding ding it is heard death death "

" 'read' via Audio book on commute... very good, must read more Dickens "

" I had a harder time getting into this one after reading some of Dickens's later works. Still a great story though. Dickens is a master storyteller and my new favorite author. "

" If based on storyline it was a great book, so 4.5 stars but I'm not into literature much, so 3.5 stars. Halfway through the pages was pretty okay. But I skipped few pages because I don't have the whole day to read this. Should re-read this after final exams. "

" Yay! I liked this better than the lame musical. "

" read it when i was a child :) "

" Simply an incredibly great book. "

" Classic, of course. Not an easy read though. "

" It was a very interesting book, which gave me a clear picture of how life was like for poor children in the Victorian Times. "

" LOVED IT!!!!! I have never fallen more in love with any other author, nor have I come across someone who could make the English language as beautiful as Dickens. May the obsession with Dickens commence! "

" Muy interesante lectura. Altamente recomendable "

" Dickens is promising...as always. I love Oliver's story. "

" not as painful as i expected and very nearly pleasant. "

" Sure Dickens is extraordinary... But I REALLY dislike Oliver Twist... Great Expectations, that's better... "

" the story was good, didn't particularly like the way the author kept butting in though. "

" Want to know about the London underworld in the 1830s? Read this. A gangster novel as well as a social polemic and a great clanking, gothic read. "

" An orphan struggles to survive in Victorian London. An engaging story with various subplots that come together at the end, and also a social commentary on how badly poor people were treated with snarky asides from the author. "

" I think the musical version is better. "

" it is one of the best books i ever read "

" Amazing story about an orphan boy who has to survive England at its worst. "

" This was one of the best books I have ever read!!! I absolutely loved it and can't wait to read more Dickens!!! "

" This book is really great.You should read this book and Charles Dickens other books too. "

" Still funny after all these years. I'm becoming a Dickens fan. It's amazing what you'll like when you're not forced to read it! "

" This was my first book!It's about an orphan lad who roams from place to place and comes across various adventures on his journey! "

" It was so cool because Oliver Twist liked Fagin but then he realized that he was bad. "

" I just loved reading this. The language was beautiful. The descriptions were wonderful. I havn't read Dickens since high school - and I think this is a great oversight by me. Can't wait to read more!! "

" i love this book..when i first read it i was about 14 years-old..*_*<br/> "

" Buku satu ini dicetak dg singkat, jelas, dan cukup padat. :) "

" The thing was fabulous and I enjoyed reading it "

" THat the reason! waiting cheap with Dickens' novel, people fall in sea !!!! "

" It makes me hate London for the bleak cloudy image the story brings up to your mind. Yet it was interesting. "

" I thought this book was very easy to read. I though that this book was very interesting. I though that at the end it was a little difficult to be connected emotionally to the book, because Oliver was not in it as much. I would recommend this book. "

" Good novel of an orphan who gets mixed up with pickpockets. I liked the musical too. Dickens is good at making memorable characters! "

" Certainly not a quick read! But I liked it nonetheless. "

" English society in the 19th century - mostly their coldness, arogance and indifference towards others. It is all about survival of the strongest. "

" Fabulous audio book~! This has been my favorite Charles Dickens book yet! "

" I didn't particularly like it "
