Book Review of A Tale of Two Cities

A Tale of Two Cities
reviewed on + 9 more book reviews


Although this is hard to get into (...the worst of times...), once you get past the first 40 pages or so, this is a great story (...the best of times!). Yes, this is a classic and yes, it is Dickens (which is why I only gave it a three...) but the story really is quite intriguing. It reads like a soap-opera. If you want, read the spark notes for the first 4 chapters and then dive in!
