This is the first Amazon Kindle book that I read. I still have to get used to the device.

I saw the Musical Oliver in London, all I remember was the scene that he ran away and I thought the staging was quite clever. Of course I also remember his being exploited by various people. I did forget his background was eventually cleared up and that he was the illegitimate son of a rich person and thus inherited a substantial amount of money

Between the “olde” English, new reading device, and reading a few pages here and there, I can’t quite form an opinion whether this is a great book. I do remember some passages (usually the more graphic ones) are quite compelling.
