Oliver Twist

The book I read is Oliver Twist. Oliver Twist is about an orphan boy whose mother died when he was born. When Oliver was growing up he had a very though life. Oliver was very bad he was so bad that he had to live in many different orphan homes because he was so bad. When he was living at his most recent home they were eating dinner when he finished for more and all of the boys looked at Oliver crazy. The consequences for asking for seconds were that Oliver had to go to court. After Oliver's trail he had to move into another orphan house. He had only been in the new house for only about two days he got tired of staying there and ran away from London. On his way there he ran into a couple of boys who were pick pocketing men in the town. When Oliver ran into one of the boys he asked him if he need a place to stay and have food. The boys thought Oliver how to pick pocket some one, when Oliver went on his first mission he got caught and they called the cops. Oliver ran away and met into a family named the Bronlows. Oliver started staying with the Bronlows so the cops wouldn't catch him. A sweet little lady named Nancy saved Oliver's life, he saved Oliver's life she died for Oliver's life.The character is Oliver. Oliver is a poor little boy who lives with ten other boys in an orphan house. Oliver is a very kind hearted boy. He's really soft spoken. He's shy when he wants something or is asking for something.The conflict in the story is Oliver's trying not to get killed by Sikes. Sikes will kill Oliver if Oliver tells the Bronlows about how he's in a gang. If Oliver tells the Bronlows he'll get hung and choked to death, and get stabbed.They solved the conflict by Nancy standing up for Oliver and using her life to save Oliver's life. What Nancy told Sikes was that she told the Bronlows that Oliver was in a gang just for that her life was sacrificed for the sake of Oliver's life to show how much she cared for him.I would recommend this book to anybody who likes to read. I wouldn't recommend this book if you don't like to read but it's for a fifth grade reading level and up, but anybody can read it. My opinion of this book is pretty book it's really a great book it doesn't take that long to read. I would rate this book a 9 on a scale 1-10. I gave it a nine because the ending wasn't what I had expected it to be.
