This book was pretty good, I mean, it did get boring at times, but the plot was strong and left you astounded. Unbelievable just how much bad was done to Oliver in his life, and a happy ending to be the result. I guess you could call it karma? Only, unexplained secrets of the past and unfair mistreatings were the barricades to a good life, which he well deserved, for Oliver. To think his happy ending can be traced from the day when he lost his temper and ran away from the countryside to London: also known as the day he took his life into his own hands and out of those of Mr.Beadle and that "fostering agency". Sure... there were some bumps along the road, (spoiler warning) his getting caught by the police when his days in the child-gang of pick-pocketers took a turn for the worse, when Sikes and Fagin came back into the picture when he'd thought he'd escaped them, the killing of Nancy, and the accidental-hanging of Sikes. At least Oliver got to where his rightful place life is supposed to be.
All in all, I liked this book, but some parts got pretty gruesome, and the language was hard at times to understand. On the bright side, i was able to see how Britain was during the Industrial Revolution.
