I forgot to take photos then took bad ones. No matter. This was WONDERFUL. A writer takeover of the Festival Hall. Do please tag yourself - and let's do this again. (Also, swipe through for probably the best view from a bridge in London...)

So I've finished Dodger today by @james_benmore
I read this book a long time ago and had been dying to reread it. When I finally got my hands on it last year it went to the top of my tbr pile.
I love the use of a very familiar character, Jack Dawkins in this story of a returned convict who along his path learns of the downfall of his 'family' from Saffron Hill. He begins his journey home full of excitement to see his old friends and fellow coves and you feel his anguish as he finds out their fates.
The story is strong and keeps you guessing all the way and the addition of so many nods to the works of Dickens make this book feel very nostalgic.

I would definitely recommend the book and cannot wait to read the 2 sequels.
