Book Review of Oliver Twist (Junior Classics for Young Readers) (Abridged)

reviewed on + 16 more book reviews


Although I used to consider abridged books almost amoral, my son has really enjoyed these series, which make the classic adventures much more accessible for the ages at which the stories hold the most appeal. He may go back to the original when he's older -- but meanwhile he has enjoyed the books immensely and has developed a good familiarity with much of the Western canon.
