Explications
JalenV: I listened to an audio copy from my local library. I was amazed by how much punishment poor Oliver's body takes near the end and he managed to survive. Nice kid -- interesting, considering his upbringing.
ahef1963: Too depressing for my liking.
Arrashid7: I read in high school. A great book! A tip ~ don't ever watch movies first!
MyFathersDragon: I was bored in 6th grade and read anything I could get my hands on. I liked Dickens, so I read a lot of his stories.

Explications
tiddleyboom : Read it. Loved it.
.Monkey. : Read it. Disliked.
amanda4242: Read it twice and hated it twice.
JalenV: Had to read it for High School and hated it. I read The Chosen and the Beautiful by Nghi Vo. Found her inserted characters and the magic interesting, still hated the Gatsby sections.
Aprill: Read it.
ahef1963: Read it; didn't really like it.
ManWithAnAgenda : Read it. Loved it.
MyFathersDragon: It was one of the classics to choose from to read in a high school class. I read lots of the choices, so I had options to choose from when it was time to write a book report.
