I remember when I got this book in my stocking at Christmas, along with other illustrated classics, that I wasn't very impressed with them at the time. However I did read a few of them. I remember reading this using the light from the floodlights that lit up the football pitch behind my house, I should have been in bed asleep. Another trick of mine for reading after lights out was pretending I needed the toilet and taking my book in there and sitting on the floor to have a good read without my parents suspecting. Anyways, this was one of the first over 100 pages books I read. I found it slightly boring at the time. Re-reading now I found it slightly more interesting but I can tell its been heavly edited because from seeing plays and the movie, I think it misses out quiet abit. Seemed like the artful Dodger wasn't mentioned enough. I think this would be a good one to read out loud to a small child. A way to introduce them to Dickens. The illustrations aren't great but good for breaking up the words if like when I first read this you arn't used to books without pictures. Maybe I should read the offical version of this book!

Merged review:

I loved this book! I sat and read this in an hour last night. Even though this is not the original version, it's been edited for younger readers it's still well worth a read. I really must get around to reading the full version one day!

Even though this is for younger readers, it didn't shy away from the hard stuff like the picture book I reviewed did. Ginger actually dies in this one :(

I'm really glad this book brought to light the mistreatment of horses, they are wonderful animals. I've always wanted to own one but funds will never allow for that, unless I suddenly come into alot of money.

Wonderful book, would recommend to old and young alike :)

I don’t know whether it’s the edition that I read this in or maybe it’s just me but I personally found this book kinda boring. Luckily it went by quickly because there’s illustrations on every 2nd page. This defiantly would play out better as a movie which I’ll have to watch sometime soon. In the distant future I might also read this story in its original form.

Cute little story that teaches us not to mistreat animals. The story moved me a lot when I was a kid, and it's still nice to re-read it after all those years.

Klassiker - Charles Dickens

Absolut empfehlenswert. Oliver Twist gehört zu unserer internationalen Literatur und muss deswegen unbedingt von jedem gelesen werden.
Rührende, spannende und abenteuerliche Geschichte eines kleinen Jungen nahe London.

Skaičiau ne šį leidimą, o 1957 metų. Su graviūromis. Knyga skaityta dar mokyklos laikais ir tada patiko, tačiau dabar atvirkščiai. Pradėjo erzinti tie ilgi aprašymai ir verkšlenimai
