Advantages: Excellent narrative

Disadvantages: Lengthy descriptions

Oliver Twist has always been my favourite Dickens novel. It has been televised, made in a musical, stage shoe, etc which has enhanced its popularity but how many people have actually taken the trouble to read it? (Of their own free will I mean, not forced reading as so often happened in schools.)

This novel is a the story of Oliver Twist who grew up in a Victorian workhouse until he found a wealthy patron who turned out to be a relative of his. It is also a commentary on the workhouse system and the social structure of the time.

Worth reading if you like classics.
