Dodger and Twist: The Further Story of the Artful Dodger and Oliver Twist

by Alan Montgomery

Do you ever wonder what happened to Oliver Twist and the Artful Dodger from the Dickens novel? This volume includes Mr. Montgomery's previous novel, The Further Adventures and Life of Jack Dawkins, Also Known as the Artful Dodger, polished, changed slightly, and expanded in order to give more attention to all aspects of Dodger's personality. In it, Dodger meets people from his past, some of them good and some quite nasty. The greatest danger, however, comes through his love for Angelica. The second portion of this book begins four years after the close of the first. Oliver Twist, still in England, finds a formidable enemy in Ian Ross, a man who is trying to distance himself from the reputation of his family, notably his Uncle Fagin. Once Oliver flees England to America, he meets his old friends, also finding people lost to him in his past. But enemies don't give up easily, and the staunch foe appears again to threaten all those who knew and felt loyalty to Fagin.

The story of Dodger and Oliver when they meet up again as adults. I listened to this, rather than reading it, and probably would have kept up a bit more with the twists and turns if I'd been reading. Still, an enjoyable listen. The full cast audio was quite entertaining.

I actually read this as the Audible version (which isn't available as an option at this time on Goodreads). It was an interesting listen and the storyline was good.

An entertaining read/listen in the car. Sometimes the number of characters was a bit hard to keep track of but that didn't deter me from enjoying the story and energy of the actors.

A great continuation of the classic....however, the way the story ended....there could be more adventures!

Pretty fun listen. Audible did it as a play which is a format that I think really works for A Dickens follow up.
Enjoyable.
