   I don’t think anyone should appreciate the works of a genius. Genius works is clearly a drudgery. The book, Crime and Punishment, is a great example of a novel that shows class and good writing by a “regular” writer. Charles Dickens and super gifted and no one should appreciate that. One should appreciate the hard way of learning and thats what normal people do … they grasp the material with efforts. genius’ have the easy way out and thats the main example of Charles Dickens. And anyways who wants to read about an orphan. You know that it’ll always be a happoily ever after story that can no ppoint, no class, no morals, and no pride. I encourage people to read A Tree Grows IN Brooklyn, an easy to read novel that actually tells you something.

   While cultural pundits try to convince you that some literature is better than other literature, the truth is that all art is relative to individial tastes. Thus, it doesn’t make any sense to think that a novel like this one is really any better than say, Michael Crichton or Stephen King. Aesthetic standards can’t be grounded.

   Thus, don’t listen to anyone who tries to distinguish between “serious” works of literature like this one and allegedly “lesser” novels. The distinction is entirely illusory, because no novels are “better” than any others, and the concept of a “great novel” is an intellectual hoax.

   Don’t buy this! It’s horrible! The only good part is the character referred to as “Master Bates.” The story is stupid, pointless, and written in a style that is dull and hard to follow. One paragraph consists of two sentences, one 159 words and the other 175 words. That’s what I call a run-on! Only read this if you absolutely have to for school or have sleeping problems!

   I here alot about how this book is a classic and how it has an amazing story, blah blah blah… Well, here’s a view from a Freshman in HS. This book totally blows. It has some good moments during the action sequences, but in all honesty, Dickens makes this story way longer than it had to be by straying away from Oliver and the thieves. It’s not exactly the most absorbing story to read. If your in HS and want a really good book, read Michael Crichton’s “Timeline” (that’s going to be a kick @$$ movie)or “Watership Down,” 2 much more exciting adventure stories.

   As a 14-year-old about to enter high school, I am highly offended by your review stating that “those who claim that is novel is boring and the worst they have ever read…basically have no right to criticize this novel.” Let me ask YOU something. Do you see what it says at the middle of the page? It says SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS. Which means that if anybody dosen’t like this book, than, basically, they DO have a right to review this novel.(The only exception is when they post it repeatedly and insult others who disagree with them. That’s trolling.) I beg you and other reviewers to consider this. Just because someone dosen’t like a piece of literature dosen’t make them a lazy bum.
