The last one is my pick. I was in love with its plot.

I'd say A Tale of Two Cities mostly because I haven't read the others. I tried to read Oliver Twist when I was 13 because my mom said she read it when she was young and really loved it but for some reason I couldn't get through it.

None of the above. "Dombey and Son" is his best book. And after that, "Martin Chuzzlewit."

From these three books, I like both Oliver Twist and A Christmas Carol, but I would choose A Christmas Carol if I had to.

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." This opening line kept me glued to the "Tale of Two Cities." This is my favorite book by the author

Out to the options, I'd choose Oliver Twist. But, none are a personal favorite.
