khooliha I tried rereading Dodger a couple years ago for Pratchat and I just found how people responded to Dodger too repetitive. Just not a fav! 2y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I enjoyed it 🤷‍♀️ A mix of fictional characters and cameos by some real life historical figures… while still highlighting the nature of poverty at that time in London. Maybe it helped that I listened on audiobook? (edited) 2y

julesG @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I agree, the audiobook kept me going. 2y

Soubhiville I read this one years ago and enjoyed it very much. I did audio too. 2y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @julesG & @Soubhiville The audiobook was well done 😉 2y

BookmarkTavern This one felt very similar to Nation for me. Intrepid young man, girl in distress who is more capable than she seems at first, interfering adults who aren‘t nearly as helpful as they think. And I totally agree on the audiobook! Well worth the listen! 2y

tokorowilliamwallace Can't promise I'll get to it (as I haven't even started on my last reservation made and picked up, an author I've been wanting to try out for a while to get a greater taste of the varieties of fantasy), but I just reserved it from the library. 2y

julesG @tokorowilliamwallace Fingers crossed you'll get it in time for our discussion. It's a quick read. 2y

julesG Why didn't I tag anyone??? That comment must have gone lost in the 0&1s. Sorry. @4thhouseontheleft @DrexEdit @Riveted_Reader_Melissa @anansigirl @Cheshirecat913 @dariazeoli @Soubhiville @GingerAntics @jmtrivera @rubyslippersreads @Karkar @kwmg40 @Marmie7 @mklong @Liatrek @khooliha @Read-y_Picker @TheSpineView @ozma.of.oz @Jennifer3 @Iblu 2y

5🌟 So far, this is my favourite Terry Pratchett. I liked the science of Discworld, but this was more fun to read, especially because I read (or had read to me) this character in the original Dickens as a child. I think I quite like Pratchett‘s Dodger more than Dickens‘s. I loved that Dickens and Mayhew were characters in this story.

GingerAntics I also enjoyed the other characters along the way that were actually historical figures. They were woven perfectly with Pratchett‘s original characters. #terrypratchett #dodger #dickens #mayhew #angelaburdettcoutts #history #fiction #historicalfiction #theartfuldodger 6y

Love the mental images. Pratchett manages to take common sayings and turn them into something worth noticing.

Love Simplicity calling Dodger “hers.” It‘s so cute.

In the book, unmentionables are everything between underwear and what‘s in your underwear.
At our house, unmentionables are dogs. We‘ve had dogs and cats, but more cats than dogs. It‘s become this thing that our cats think of dogs as “unmentionables” with the exception of K-9 units (officers, marines, seals, etc), fire dogs (firefighters), the queen‘s corgis, and the dogs on Pit Bulls and Parolees.

Absolutely in love with this book. Mr. Charlie Dickens. Mr. Sweeny Todd. This is bloody brilliant. How have I never known about this book before now? I am in love. This could be my new favourite book.
