Oliver Twist

Reviewers here mirror Dickens

(5 stars)

LibriVox populi var. VB

Funny how the personalities who review here are like Dickens characters: some sweet, some not at all, some clueless and voluble, greedy and dissatisfied; and dare I say intolerant? Having read A Tale of Two Cities, A Christmas Carol, And Nicholas Nickleby just prior to this, I noticed this in those LV books too. Esp the Ralph Nicklebys who think LibriVox should supply a free book a month like amazon prime! All Librivox productions are free and made by volunteers, people. And the Mr. Bumbles who verbally whip the VOLUNTEER readers! The Scrooges who kick the gift horse in the teeth. Meanies humbug!! LVox volunteers, please may we have some more?

Hmm...

It's a very well read book and follows to the way Charles Dickens wanted it to sound. However, because of the tone the readers voice is, in some places it's quite interesting to listen to but in other places, it seems to drag on for what seems like ages. If I was on a show I would give it a 7/10 which is OK-right. Overall good book but wouldn't listen to it again-sorry.

All of the readers who contributed to this Oliver Twist speak clearly, but anyone considering this download should know that the gender and accents of the readers change from chapter to chapter (and the accents are not necessarily English accents but German, American, and so on).

A great book

Whilst I am very appreciative of the volunteers and their efforts, the gentleman that narrates chapter 12, amongst others, becomes incredibly grating owing to his exaggerated impersonations of each character. It is otherwise well read.

figure it out

oliver was an orphan who was born in the work house and he went to a house and was looked after by a young lady. On oliver's ninth birthday he was enjoying his life, that was when mr. bumble turned up. knock! knock! knock! the door was opened by the lady and was greeted with "hello, is Oliver home" asked mr bumble. And on and on it goes but that's for you to find out for your selves good luck. I also highly suggest you read this 5 star, poor melancholy (synonym for sad)story writen by the best writer I know out of my whole lifez

Thank you for the excellent reading of this long book. I use it as many other books to go to sleep by and doing it long enough, I learn all of the book. I am a serious reader of books and knock out about two a week and they are all important works. I submit as a suggestion for other readers, Gen George Clusters, autobiographical Life on the Plains. You can learn alot about the plains Indians that our forefathers would follow in settling the farming sections of the west.

Very good

Never really had an interest in the story, but then I realized I didn't know anything about it besides the famous line. The first part of the story is very vexing for the injustices against Oliver. But as the story develops it becomes very interesting. The readers did a very good job. Some extra well. Though a couple were almost intolerable

ok

even though I did enjoy this, I do enjoy these better when they are read by the same reader, all the way through. this version had some good readers and some bad. couple of the worst were the youngest. the one sounded like he was doing this in secret and the other was trying to hard to be melodical.
