Erklärungen
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.

Arrashid7: I plan to read it this summer.
ManWithAnAgenda : Read, loved.
MyFathersDragon: I didn’t finish. I read some in Italian, but I am not very good with Italian. I read more in English translation, but I wanted to go back to the Italian, and never finished.

Erklärungen
aulsmith : Skipping. Too much blubber.
rainpebble : puts my brain in a muddle no matter how many attempts I make to read it.
amanda4242: I read it and discovered that I could quite happily have gone through life without having read it.
sturlington : Read in college.
JalenV: Read twice for different classes (one definitely in college), chose it the second time because I remembered enough from dfiscussing it the first time I figured it would help the second. (Still wonder if that preacher who appeared early in the book gave the same sermon every Sunday.)
Aprill: I love Melville's writing.
ManWithAnAgenda : Read. Interesting.
MyFathersDragon: I liked the book in 5th grade, but when I tried rereading in 11th grade, I didn’t find it interesting enough to read it, perhaps because I had previously 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.

JalenV: It's been decades, but watching the Overly Sarcastic Productions video about it on YouTube reminded me of details I'd forgotten, not to mention making me chuckle.
MyFathersDragon: I received it as a gift when I was about 12, so of course I read it. I reread it several years later, too.

Erklärungen
aulsmith: I've read a lot of this, but I mean to sit down and read it all the way through someday.
sturlington : Read at least in part in high school
JalenV: Had a summer job once where, after I wrote my weekly report, there was nothing to do. I decided that would be improve my mind day and read then. It did give me a glimpse of how cultures differ when a well-born youth pretending to be a kitchen boy didn't hold it against a well-born young lady for the way she mistreated him when she didn't know who he was.
aekd: no interest

Erklärungen
JalenV: Had to read for class. I've read that the standard text is a victim of bad editing. If true, that explains a lot.
ahef1963: Beautiful book.
MyFathersDragon: About 3rd grade - it was in the school library.

Erklärungen
JalenV: Another library audio edition I checked out. I knew from my mom's copy of Plot Outlines of 100 Famous Novels that it didn't have a happy ending, but it was even more grim than I expected.

Erklärungen
dara85: Didn't like it.
auntSteelbreaker : Read it, loved it.
electrice : read in 2014
JalenV: When I was in elementary school, my parents gave me a boxed set with a printed copy of the book and an audio copy on vinyl records (I'm 69). I've read it several times, but I like my annotated Alice better.

aulsmith : Started several times but never found it worth pursuing.
nlgeorge : too biblical

ahef1963: Read in university. Can't say I liked it much.
ManWithAnAgenda : Read. eh.
CharlesTheB : I agree, too biblical

Erklärungen
MyFathersDragon: We read the Secret Sharer in English class, but on the other side of it (upside down from each other) was this one, so I read it because it was available. The book also described it as a Joseph Conrad classic. I was determined to read lots of books considered classics when I was in high school.
