Publisher Description

Charles Dickens' most notorious reading from the classic Oliver Twist is performed by his Great Great Grandson Gerald Dickens. Causing ladies in the audience to faint and Dickens himself to collapse, Nancy and Sikes always shocked the audience. The drama and the passion of Nancy's murder are still as powerful and chilling as it was in Charles Dickens' time.

"I've read several books by Dickens, and this is my favorite. He's not really complimentary of the United States as he observed it, but some of his opinions were warranted. "

    " The narration on this one, done by a decendent of Charles Dickens, is just too awful to talk about. "

    " In the 19th century this was offensive to Americans and boring to Britons. Today, to this American, half is boring and half is beautifully written and dead right. Glad that schoolwork forced me into this one. "

    " It was ok. Driven by his own prejudices and with some questionable facts at times. Funny at times. The chapter on slavery at the end is worth reading even if you don't read the whole book. Still, Dickens should have stuck with fiction. "

    " Good travel literature and true to the author's curiosity. However, this will bring the reader to a more bombastic side of Dickens than expected. "

    " Dickens' travelogue begins lightly, but the humour quickly devolves into cloying and annoying. Much of his interest is in the public institutions of America, but his descriptions are dull and condescending. This one is generallly bereft of anything interesting or informative. "
