I decided to read the classics this yr and started out with The Tale of Two Cities. I had never read it before. I found the first couple of chapters hard to get through but after that I loved it. I got chills while reading the last page. I recommend this book but be patient and give it a chance
I love this novel.. I took the simplified version at school when I was 14 ! but just the meanings behind this story is so touching and unbelievable !! :) Noha from Egypt
I read this book back in University for my Victorian literature class. It is not one of my favorite Dickens novels. I found it to be very dark, but then again so was the French Revolution.
