I never had to read this in my school years, and wonder how any of us did. Was very well narrated with the voices helping make the times and conditions really clear. What a time to live in, and no wonder so many emigrated.

Way more complex than I thought

Dickens prose is surpassed by few. The story told in parts as it was serialised then is gripping and as a reader I couldn’t wait for the next instalment. Dickens paints such a vivid and detailed picture of life in England that I can’t help but realise just how privileged so many are today in comparison. A very enjoyable journey into lives and characters past.

Charles Dickens A Great … Oliver Twist a marvel

Some parts dragged but nice story overall if you can get past the racism and sexism

great voices, just long

A brilliantly written multi-layered plot with characters so real they’ll haunt your dreams or dispel your nightmares. Incisive social commentary of an era long gone yet relevant today with the eternal traits of our humanity. (p.s. Forget the musical Oliver it does no justice to this timeless immaculately crafted story). Can’t believe I’ve only just read/listened to this.

Can’t believe I never read Oliver Twist!
