A REVIEW ( Oliver Twist, by Charles Dickens)

Oliver Twist is a book written by Charles Dickens. The author showed Londons life and society. The main character of the book is an orphan named Oliver Twist. The book tells the story about sad Olivers life. He lost his family and moved to childrens home where living conditions were awful, so kids were starving. One day Oliver escaped and then he met a thief who took him to his leader. There begins an amazing adventure of a boy. I really like this book, but first when I saw the cover I thought its for children. I think its not an appropriate book for kids, because its full of violence. I would say its an interesting and sad book, because the boy met a lot of bad people. Happily, Oliver found a nice family and everything ended up very good.

"Oliver Twist" is a unique story about a little boy who wasn`t spoiled by life. He was an orphan who lived in the workhouse and then was forced to stay with a group of gang. Finally he was adopted by a generous man to live with him happily. I like the book very much. The story points out that generous people such as Mr Brownlow, Mrs Maylie, Oliver, etc. would end up with the happiness. In contrast, bad people such as Fagin, Monks, Bill Sikes etc. would end their life with miserable death or imprisonment. Moreover, it is a kind of happy ending story that every good character will finally find happiness. Oliver Twist gives voice to the people who are ignored and forgotten in the society. I strongly recommend this easy-to-read book to anyone who searches for love, hope, peace, and meaning in life and who hopes to live a good life. It will get into the bottom of your heart. Oliver Twist will make you cry and laugh.

Kamila UanowskaOliver TwistI really like this book, because it is wonderful story about a brave boy- Oliver. He had a horrible life. Some people hurt him, laughed at him, but he did not give up. The author of the book showed us an awful, unfair human behaviours and unpleasant habits in XIX century. Oliver struggled with these things. He teaches us perseverance, courage and undying hope. The book Oliver Twist shows us that in life there aren`t only difficult times but there are also beautiful moments and people who help us, but we always have to believe and never stop fighting. This is very beautiful novel. Ola Chomka

Oliver Twist is an amazing story about a little boy who gets passed from place to place and had a very hard life. When he was a child his mother died and he was sent to a workhouse. Then he was tried to be sold from the workhouse as an apprentice but he runs away from there. On his way to London he met a boy called Artful Dodger and then ended up with Fagin the leader of a gang of thieves who taught children how to steal. Luckily Oliver also met people who took good care of him and helped him with problems he had.In my opinion the novel is very entertaining and it makes you want to read more. I liked the fact that Fagin and Sikes tried to change Oliver but he continued to be an innocent good boy. My favourite character is Mr. Brownlow who took care of Oliver and loved him despite the things he had done and his past. I cried while reading the part when Oliver was accused of a robbery he hadn`t committed and Mr. Brownlow took him to his house because he was sick. I liked the end and I wouldn`t change anything in the book.I really recommend this story to everyone. It`s brief and fascinating.

Oliver Twist is one of the best books I have ever read. The story of the main character - Oliver- is very interesting. In my opinion this is a book for people of all ages. It's short, so it's ideal for evening reading. I think that likeable character of Oliver and his fate will appeal to everyone . I also think that Oliver's behavior is truly remarkable. The boy, despite the fact that he was drawn into the world of crime, tries not to surrender to evil. I really recommend this book to all and I assure you that you will not regret it.

The novel Oliver Twist written by Charles Dickens did not make as huge impression on me as I had expected. Before I read this book, I heard only positive opinions about it, and somebody even was fascinated with the adventures of a poor boy. It was not breathtaking for me. Naturally, some parts of Oliver Twist made me think about my life and my worldview but to be honest, I thought that it would influence me more. Maybe the reason is that people exalt the novel too much, because they know different novels of Dickens and they want the other to remember a story about orphaned child. The novel is worth reading but I was disappointed because I expected more surprising moments what make the story more absorbing. In spite of all, I persuade everyone to read Oliver Twist because it is one of timeless book which bring something positive to our life.

Oliver Twist is a wonderful story written by Carl Dickens. Oliver was born in a workhouse in a small town near London. His mother died after his birth.He was brought up at a "child farm" in the country until he was about eight. Then he was sent to work and stayed with the coffin-maker Sowerberry. One day he runs away and wants to find his fortune in London. Instead, he falls in with a boy called Jack Dawkins, who was part of a child gang of thieves - run by Fagin. Oliver was accused of pick pocketing a gentleman who later takes him to his home and looks after him. The thieves manage to kidnap Oliver once more and try to turn him into a criminal and on one of his assignments he is badly injured.Fortunately, Oliver was picked up by a family that turns out to be as nice as Mr. Brownlow.Fagin was arrested and hanged for his crimes. Oliver learnt to read and write with his new friends, the Maylies. He was also reunited with his first friend, Mr. Brownlow.Oliver`s life was full of ups and downs. Despite all the difficulties, he didn`t let the evil to win. He lived with bad guys but he didn`t become one of them. I admire Oliver for being so strong. He didnt blame anyone for not having comfortable life. Oliver kept thinking positively and believed that one day happiness would come. This is what I learned from Oliver Twist story. I`m sure that young and older people will find this book interesting and inspiring.

Oliver Twist is a book based on the novel by Charles Dickens. Its about a little orphan named Oliver Twist who looks for better life for himself. I like Oliver because he is not a bad boy. He didnt want to join the group of thieves. This decision let him to find a good gentleman who became his family. He shows us that even with difficult past we can find happiness but we have to be as strong and brave as Oliver. I also like Nancy who was a friend of group head. At first she didnt like Oliver, but finally she sacrificed her life for this little boy. If you want to know how to fight for happiness, you should read this book.
