Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist is a Victorian classic, a gripping tale of one orphan’s hope and desperation.
What Malorie Says: “Oliver Twist was one of the first books I read as a child where a beloved character met a tragic, gruesome and unexpected death. Nancy’s death broke my heart when I was reading it. And the story became all the more real to me because of that.”
What They Say: “The power of Dickens is so amazing, that the reader at once becomes his captive” —William Makepeace Thackeray
