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.

jain : Read ~1/4 of it, and that was annoying and repetitious enough. Can't imagine slogging through the whole thing.
aulsmith : Life's too short to waste it reading Pamela.
ManWithAnAgenda : Read.
