The hero finds himself in dire circumstances after he dares to beg for more food in the orphanage. Determined to make his way in the world, he escapes to London, where he becomes involved with criminals…and finally finds a real home.

      "Please, sir, may I have summore?"This book is one of my all time favorites. A classic, Dickens paints a portrait of the struggles of a poor orphan in turn-of-the-century London. Yes, Fagan "the Jew" is a pretty racist character, but he also has motive for being a jerkface. Like all of the characters, he is just caught up in a hard life, trying to survive.Nancy, the sex worker with a heart of gold, is the best character in this book. Prostitutes were seen as trash, but Dickens shows that even "fallen women" have values.
