Oliver Twist – Dickens’ Greatest Story?

As we are currently studying Oliver Twist in Class 5, it seems a good time to ask the following question: Is Oliver Twist the greatest story that Charles Dickens wrote?

You might love the story of Oliver Twist because of all the engaging and enduring characters that are in the book (is there a better bad guy than Bill Sikes).

Or alternatively, you might prefer the timeless classic that is A Christmas Carol. Is Christmas really Christmas without a re-telling of Dickens’ time-honoured classic?

Or maybe you love the story of Little Dorrit with all its connections to the location of our school.

    I really like the book Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens because it has lots of description. I think it is the Greatest Book he has written because you have thoughts and feelings about the book. I also love the film. You should watch it and read the book. It is AMAZING.

    I really liked the film and book because the book really explains what is going on and if you read it slowly and clearly you will find it extraordinary and hilarious, I especially like the movie.

    I think ‘Great Expectations’ is greatest book that Charles Dickens wrote because it is such an exciting story with some moments that make the reader gasp in surprise; a real page turner! I also really liked ‘A Tale of Two Cities’ as I studied it when I was in Year 7 and because it contains one of the best opening lines from a book. I hope you all enjoy reading Oliver, I can’t wait to have a look at some of your work.

    Charles Dickens wrote so many inspiring books which are read thoroughly daily. I particularly love Oliver Twist though. It is an ambivalent tale of love, sadness and happiness. It teaches you so much in just one book! Charles Dickens is an exceptional writer with extraordinary talents.
