Oliver Twist's life has been a hard and desperate one. With his mother dying during his birth, and having no idea who his father was, Oliver has spent his first nine years struggling to survive in a world that has little pity for a poor orphan such as him. After Oliver gets involved with the nefarious Fagin and the sinister Bill Sikes, he is wounded during a burglary. Oliver is rescued by Sikes's intended victims, the young Rose Maylie, and her guardian, Mrs Maylie. At last, the boy finds a loving home and people who care for him. But how long will Oliver's happiness endure, especially when Fagin begins to conspire with a mysterious stranger with a link to the boy's past?
My daughter is in Oliver the musical and I thought this would help me understand the plot better before the show but there were so many characters that it was really confusing and I don’t have a much better idea than I did before I read it. It felt like it was skipping over a ton of plot, so much that I couldn’t really follow it. This is probably best for people who already know the story really well to enjoy a majorly abbreviated version of it. I like the idea of a graphic novel version though.
الرواية تتحدث عن أوليفر تويست الذي نشأ في ملجأوينتقل من يد إلى أخرى ومن ظروف إلى ظروف مختلفة تماما الرواية جيدا نوعا ما ولكنها من النوع الذي لا يعجبني والرسومات رائعة
The dense plot of this story is not easy to condense into graphic novel format however if you want an overview of the story in a easy to read way this book is for you.
