Penguin Classics relaunch.

The story of the orphan Oliver, who runs away from the workhouse only to be taken in by a den of thieves, shocked readers when it was first published. Dickens's tale of childhood innocence beset by evil depicts the dark criminal underworld of a London peopled by vivid and memorable characters - the arch-villain Fagin, the artful Dodger, the menacing Bill Sikes and the prostitute Nancy. Combining elements of Gothic Romance, the Newgate Novel and popular melodrama, Dickens created an entirely newkind of fiction, scathing in its indictment of a cruel society, and pervaded by an unforgettable sense of threat and mystery.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heavy classic!
Reviewed in the United States on 19 March 2024

This was one of the books my mom strongly encouraged me to read when I was a kid, and back then, I thought it was too gloomy and dull, yet I manged to finish it; nevertheless, after rereading it as an adult, I realized that I remember the book differently than my second read. I guess I would describe it as having more gravity now in contrast with my boyhood memory. Another thing was that I could feel how this book was constructed from a periodical series published in newspapers, and it was just this sense that each chapter was a story in itself. Charles Dickens was a very good writer from a very different time, and he isn't everyone's cup of tea, yet I still see great value in reading books like this.

5.0 out of 5 stars The only problem with this bo
Reviewed in Canada on 28 August 2021

The print in this book is smaller than usual & the choice of ink is lighter than most text making it a tab bit hard to read. Obviously, I would never criticize Charles Dicken, but I would look for another publication of this book due to the fact that you might need a magnifying glass to read the book.
