Yes i love that book, its really sad though. "Oliver Twist" is notable for its unromantic portrayal by Dickens of criminals and their sordid lives.
Yeah, I remember how he depicted criminals. Charles Dickens wrote some great novels. My favorite was "David Copperfield".
Really good one i read it too although, I really wish their could be a solution to the amount of orphan kids their is in the world.
I agree we need to find a better solution. Some countries don't have the money to make sure they are being taken care of.
