Oliver Twist
Ratings270
Average rating3.7
The story of the orphan Oliver, who runs away from the workhouse only to be taken in by a den of thieves, shocked readers when it was first published. Dickens's tale of childhood innocence beset by evil depicts the dark criminal underworld of a London peopled by vivid and memorable characters - the arch-villain Fagin, the artful Dodger, the menacing Bill Sikes and the prostitute Nancy. Combining elements of Gothic Romance, the Newgate Novel and popular melodrama, in Oliver Twist Dickens created an entirely new kind of fiction, scathing in its indictment of a cruel society, and pervaded by an unforgettable sense of threat and mystery.

here are my toughs
liked oliver,felt sorry 4 him that he had such a horrible lifehis mom died you know couple minutes after his birth , glad the last chapter if i'm correct was her story , who she was and ended when she died glad thsi story had a happy ending. There was no romance that i'm sir ten of.
i liked hating the badguys,LOL.
the only thing that lowered the rating ,where the many difficult words. I had a dictionary close by when i read it. Was annoying lol.
So there are my thoughts
Truyện cứ buồn buồn, một xã hội thật sự tội nghiệp và cuộc đời bất công với một cậu bé rất nhỏ tuổi. An uncomfortable but comfy read..? Chắc là do lối viết văn hay của Dickens.
