Charles Dickens
Born to an unmarried woman who dies after giving birth, orphan Oliver Twist seems destined to slog through a dismal life in the workhouse. A rebellious cry for more gets Oliver banished, and ultimately lands him on the dismal streets of London. The young outcast finds refuge with Fagin and his band of thieves before fate intervenes and puts Oliver in the hands of a kindly benefactor. It is likely that Dickens's own early youth as a child laborer contributed to the story's development. Oliver Twist has been the subject of countless film and television adaptations.

Great book- what a bargain! Excellent narrator!

First, he reads so fast that you'll have to slow the playback speed down to .85 or so. Even then, you'll notice that the narrator barely pauses for punctuation--for this narrator, a period indicates "take a breath real quick and carry on". His tone is bland and perfunctory, at times approaching the sing-song.
Second, he misreads words. Once he says "apocethary" for apothecary. Once he says "palm singers" for psalm singers. And once, unforgivably, "Olivia" for Oliver.
The narrator reads every line of Oliver's in a breathy, victimized whisper. (Not entirely his fault, since this character is, in fact, breathy and victimized right off of the page.) Nearly every single character is relentlessly shrill and grating, except one or two--notably Brownlow and Bumble.
In my opinion, though I'm not an expert on English accents or slang in the 19th century, he also gets the lower class London accent all wrong.
As a last proof of the overall sloppiness of this recording, the last half of Chapter VII is missing altogether. Olivia (see? weird.) is shut in a dark room by the Sowerberrys, the chapter immediately closes, and Chapter VIII opens with our hero on the moonlit road out of the village. Almost 800 words, including Oliver's parting blessing by Dick the orphan, are just not there.
I'll be requesting an exchange on this one.
