Book Description

13 Sep 2012

Dodger is a tosher - a sewer scavenger living in the squalor of Dickensian London.

Everyone who is nobody knows Dodger. Anyone who is anybody doesn't.

But when he rescues a young girl from a beating, suddenly everybody wants to know him.

And Dodger's tale of skulduggery, dark plans and even darker deeds begins . . .

Review

"Historical fiction in the hands of the inimitable Sir Terry brings the sights and the smells (most certainly the smells) of Old London wonderfully to life . . . Unexpected, drily funny and full of the pathos and wonder of life: Don't miss it." (Kirkus Reviews 20120801)

Book Description

A terrifically funny tale of dark deeds in Dickensian London, from master storyteller Terry Pratchett.

5.0 out of 5 stars spiffing! 13 Sep 2012
By J. Turner TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I got this downloaded to my Kindle at the crack of dawn this morning - and I have just finished it. What can I say? After the rather difficult novel that was 'long earth', Mr P is back on form with this mildly Dickensian (okay, a lot Dickensian!) tale of Dodger, a young sewer 'tosher'. In the best tradition of unlikely heroes everywhere, our lad stumbles on the vicious attck of a young girl, thus plunging headlong into a dark mystery. I'm not going to give away the plot, except to say, that it is pure Pratchett, with twists and turns everywhere, starkly witty social observations and characters that Dickens would wish he had invented. Laugh out loud funny, poignant and waspish, this is a strong contender for my favourite book of the year. My only complaint is that five out of five is not enough. Who knew that sewers could be so interesting?! Recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Vintage Pratchett 4 Oct 2012
By Santa
Format:Hardcover
A book that manages to hit that very difficult objective of being an adventure story, with a proper hero,suitable for both children and adults. If I had a five-year-old I would be happy to read it to him or her, but as someone almost as old as Sir Terry, I enjoyed it too.

A sequel must surely be a possibility.

4.0 out of 5 stars artful.... 18 Dec 2012
By R. Shaw
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Love it. Nice storey based upon the life of "the real" artful dodger. Cleverly written, good characters and the usual quirky humour from Mr Pratchett.

Diskworld fans beware, it's not a diskworld book!
