I LIKED IT.....KINDA
The beginning was delicious, amazing story, great time and place, and you can learn a lot, but the ending was very bland, it didn’t have much context
GREAT book!!!
I have read this book so many times it's that good of a book.
Poor Oliver
Oliver’s sad predicament is beautifully portrayed with such pathos that would make reader hug the poor boy if he could somehow be manifested out of the pages by some divine hand. It marvelously portrays the plight of orphans and preaches kindness to destitute children and how poor status doesn’t equate to moral wickedness by default.
