To be on the safe side, you should double check your copyright laws and consult a lawyer. Generally speaking, in order to use the characters and plot of a famous book in your own writing without violating copyright law, you should obtain permission from the copyright owner first. You may also want to give proper credit to the original work or make minor changes that keep the character and plot lines but alter them enough so they are not seen as copied directly.

It is generally advisable to avoid directly copying the plot or characters of a famous book, as this can constitute copyright infringement. It is generally safest to write an entirely original story which uses the same genre, setting and/or theme of the famous book, but introduces completely new characters and develops an independent plot.
