The must read again book!

Read it in high school many years ago & just read again, & appreciated it much more as an adult. This has to be one of the crowning glories of Charles Dickens...."it was the best of times, it was the worst of times....." What a way to start a book! And the ending was just as poignant...."it is a far far better thing I do than I have ever done...on his way to the guillotine. How Dickens contrasts Paris & London, love & hatred,...

Vengeance Versus Forgiveness

It’s the ultimate mystery novel: characters act strangely, but always for a reason. Miscellaneous people drift in and out, but they’re not truly miscellaneous — you just have to wait to see how they’re connected.

Dickens is a master of the type of narration that simultaneously moves forward and back in time. In other...

Quite possibly, the best book ever.

I cannot say enough about this story. This is truely a masterpiece from the familiar opening to the satisfying conclusion, a work of art. Beautiful. Sydney Carton is a cheracter that I will not soon forget. If you read nothing else, read this. YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY.

If it was possible for Dickens to write something that was less Dickensian than the rest of his impressive body of work, "A Tale of Two Cities" would qualify as the least Dickensian of them all. An absorbing historical work, a sharply moving forward tempo, little if any comic relief and a minimum of florid prose (at least relative to his own characteristic standard of an abundance of unnecessary...

A Tale of Two Cities paints a beautiful while dark story of the French Revolution

A Tale of Two Cities paints a beautiful while dark story of the French Revolution and how it affects an English family. It is, by all standards, a classic. Yet, if you decide to read it and are younger than a high school senior, I suggest reading it with a good dictionary by your side. It is written in the English of over one-hundred years ago and so I would also recommend a version that includes notes on what certain phrases...
