5.0 out of 5 stars
Please, Sir, I want some more people to read classics like this,
This review is from: Oliver Twist (Barnes & Noble Classics) (Paperback)
I recently reread Oliver Twist and was quite surprised as to how faithful the musical "Oliver" and also several film adaptions are to this story originally written in the 1830's. Obviously there are minor difference but it is tough for even Broadway and Hollywood to diminish a good story. Sure Oliver Twist is sentimental and melodramatic and loose plot ends are tied up ever so neatly but it still has something to say to the 21st century. Poverty,crime,homelessness,and corrupt government officials still plague us today as there is no change in basic human nature. Dickens preaches to us about these evils but he does it so humorously that the hammer with which he hits us over the head leaves us improved rather than wounded.
