Oliver_Twist

= Oliver Twist =

Oliver Twist was born in a workhouse and raised in an orphanage. When he asks for more gruel, he is exiled away from the other boys and is sold as a apprentice to a mortuary. He runs away to London and tries to find a home where he belongs. Oliver isn't like the other boys. Most people would have given up halfway to become slimy, snivelling criminals, but not Oliver!

What really starts this story off is when Oliver is at the orphanage and asks for more gruel. This whole story would not have happened if the other boys had not chosen him for the job, and he would not have been kicked out.

Depending on your taste in literature, you will either love this book or hate it. It is written in an older style, which makes it difficult to read for some. Dicken's uses older vernacular (thee's, thus', and shall's) and lots of dialouge. The book has a great storyline and the interactions between characters are fun to read.
