The book is a classic that features a lovable boy who, despite all the hardship in his life, never gives up and retains his kind heart. Although the plot starts quite sadly with Oliver's start in life and his upbringing in the orphanage, it develops into a real crime story with a penchant for melodrama and a final, quite rosy ending where almost everyone gets what they deserve. The ending is then a rather concentrated load of information for the resolution. The story captivates and one experiences highs and lows with Oliver and is happy for him that he finds a few people who take him into their hearts and lovingly care for him. A classic that presents interesting characters from various social classes, melodrama, entertainment, emotion, brutality, social criticism, and some coincidences.
