Oliver Twist

Title: Oliver Twist
Author: Charles Dickens
Genre: Classic/ Fiction
Pages: 374


As the quarter is coming to an end, so is my book that I am reading. With only around 20 pages left, I am able to conclude what happened throughout the whole book. Starting with the death of Oliver's alcoholic mother, up until when he finds out what her name was. She died right after she gave birth to Oliver. The young little boy, is given away to the parish to be taken care of where they treat children like objects. Asking for more food, was considered a crime. (according to page 15) 
Oliver is being sold for only 5 pounds to work as a slave. As he escapes by being sold, he is to work as a brutish chimney sweep and is eventually apprenticed to a local undertaker, Mr. Sowerberry. 
There is a lot of lifestyle changing in this plot, moving from places to places and meeting new people - good and bad. The story ends happily, with Oliver finally finding him "right spot" with a family as Mr. Brownlow adopts him. Oliver's actual father, Mr. Leeford, is to be discovered that he is now unhappily married to a wealthy woman, after having n affair with Oliver's mother, Agnes Fleming.


Both me and my partner really enjoyed reading this book, and in my opinion it is one of the best classics out there, especially Charles Dickens for having such a creative mind to it and writing a masterpiece such as "Oliver Twist".
