About this listen
Rife with Dickens' disturbing descriptions of street life, the novel is buoyed by the purity of the orphan Oliver. Though he is treated with cruelty and surrounded by coarseness for most of his life, his pious innocence leads him at last to salvation - and the shocking discovery of his true identity.

As captivating and as jaw dropping as always
What made the experience of listening to Oliver Twist the most enjoyable?
Re-hearing the parts of the story I had forgotten and remembering the horror of the whole thing
What other book might you compare Oliver Twist to, and why?
Most of Dickens books, but maybe David Copperfield the most.
Which character – as performed by Simon Vance – was your favourite?
Fagin - I thought his Fagin sounded like the Fagin that has always been in my mind. The self-preservation-at-all-costs mentality. The way he will corrupt the innocent to further his means - His total lack of conscience if it of benefit to him.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
It is a book that I have 'rewound' more times than I can count to make sure I haven't missed anything, such as when I have dozed off or there has been an interruption. Because of the books length it has not been possible to do it in one sitting - but not for the want of trying !!
Any additional comments?
I cannot think of a modern book that has all of the horror, sadness, gripping, spine tingling, look-over-your-shoulder moments, but also has uplifting, humerous, sentimental and moral content all within the same volume. A work of art - A masterpiece of English literature.

Ok for 10 pages
Nonsense, gets to page 10 and stops. Son was trying to get involved with Dickens and got the hump and gave up.
