Oliver Twist by Charles DickensMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Growing up, I thought I had known the story of Oliver Twist, through the school plays and reads that I had down in my early life in school. But sitting and reading through this book, I found myself being surprised a lot in the ordeal that young, Mr. Twist had to go through and just how he had managed to find himself in to a good place.
I am grateful that I had gotten a chance to read the novel by Charles Dickens and come to know the real story from what I had always believed I knew about Oliver Twist, which to come to admit was pretty much nothing apart from the famous. 'please sir, may I have some more.' And his time with Figgins, the jew.
It's opened my mind up to a lot of questions about what stories we get taught in schools and at a young age, which is changed and reshaped for our younger minds, keeping out all the bad things like the murders and the deaths of the gang and Miss. Nancy. It makes me wonder just how many other tales we were told as children from famous authors has been changed to make them more safer for our little minds.
