This book was so full of great things to love. As a pastor I loved that lives of faith were lived out in the pages of the book. I loved that the believers in it though literary characters were also not wimpy pew sitting whiners complaining about the evil in their world. No not this gang they were seeking evil and bringing the light of God and Justice to the dark and unjust world as they encountered it.The creative mind of Oliver Twist and the inventions he comes up with was a great source of enjoyment for me. I love that this reformed thief has become an active and productive member of society and a man of character and nobility (in the true sense of the word).That isn't to say that this action packed book doesn't have it's dark moments it does. However, evil does strike back and there is no sugar coating that in this novel. A hearty thank you to Mrs. Lyon's for treating evil as real and not some easily defeated wimpy philosophy.This was a great start to what I feel will be a great series. Can't wait to read more.
