Summary
Oliver Twist, Dickens’ second novel, has enthralled generations of readers since its publication in 1838. Orphaned and desolate, Oliver’s journey to London and subsequent induction into its dingy underworld, is here narrated with ceaseless energy by Jonathan Keeble. His depictions of Fagin and the terrifying Bill Sikes are particularly mesmerizing, and his reading is infused with a delicious knack for storytelling.
This unabridged version has been long anticipated, and is a stand-out Naxos AudioBooks recording.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Finally did this book!
I've been meaning to read this in English for the longest time and never managed to get to it. Till I saw Jonathan Keeble narrates it! Problem solved in an instant. I love this guy! And I must say I quite enjoyed Dickens' sense of humour!
Listen to it and you'll definitely enjoy all the talent Jonathan Keeble has or I will eat my head!

A Narration I'd Keep Going Back To
What did you like most about Oliver Twist?
Dickens's characters were perfectly created, good and bad.
What did you like best about this story?
When Sikes murdered Nancy - I've never heard a more perfect reading of it.
What does Jonathan Keeble bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
He handles each character perfectly.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I was close to tears when Mrs. Maylie broke down when Rose was dangerously ill.
Any additional comments?
You'll never get a more perfect reading of the book than this. Without giving too much away, Chapter 52 was perfectly narrated, as was Chapter 49. You could tell Mr. Brownlow was a determined man. Jonathan Keeble was perfect as Monks too. I'll give nothing more away, but if you haven't read any Dickens books, both this and Great Expectations are the perfect first starting point for you. If you've only seen the musical, then you'll find a great difference. Good though the musical is, quite a lot is softened in it whereas this shows the brutality during the time it was written.
