1	Great expectations more books like this by Charles Dickens The tale of the orphan, Pip, and his mysterious benefactor provides a grotesque but pointed comedy that explores the many levels of English society with insight and sympathy as well as a satiric eye.

2	Oliver Twist more books like this by Charles Dickens Dickens's second novel was a far cry from THE PICKWICK PAPERS, his first.
