Dana (24 KP) rated Oliver Twist in Books
Mar 23, 2018
I can honestly say that I did not enjoy this book. For me, Charles Dickens' works are all very repetitive. There's an orphan who continuously falls onto bad times, then suddenly figures things out and gets his life turned around. Everything happened too slowly and was way too drawn for me or it was important information told in passing. The chapters jump around a lot so it can get confusing temporally. There are too many characters with similar names to keep track of. Overall, I didn't enjoy this novel.

The world this takes place in is interesting.
The characters
So, I liked this book. I think the world this takes place in was vivid, you were able to really see and feel what the author wanted to show you. I actually really like the characters, too. However, it was a little predictable. I kept thinking this is going to happen or this character is not who they seem, and then I’d be proved right. There were still twists because I couldn’t predict exactly what was going to happen, but I saw pieces of it before I was supposed to. I give it a solid 8 because it was interesting and there a lot of really likeable things about this book.

I kind of guessed the way this film would go by way of the title, but I was pleasantly surprised. I found myself hooked from the beginning and unsure about what was happening and why. I thought the cast were strong and felt the emotions coming from them. There isn't too much explanation about the situation which draws away from the actual story and tension builds throughout.
