Much easier to read and get into than A Tale of Two Cities. I liked the characters and I couldn't put it down towards the end.This book is also reviewed on my blog Books: A true story
Read in college for a mid-level literary criticism class required for my major. I liked it well enough, but Dickens has really never been one of my favorites. I don't have much interest in realism, Victorian or contemporary. I am, however, preparing to re-read this to discover whether I might like i...
I hated this book in HS, but loved it the second time round. It took me about six weeks to read because I've been so busy, but my interest never flagged and it read well despite the slow pace (no surprise there I guess).
I can tell the reader of this review that I am not a Charles Dicken's fan..I truly believe that he is a pig of a man and was mandated to read this book for a college lit class. Otherwise, I find his work to be over-rated in importance.

Reading Dickens can be a challenge for the modern reader accustomed to five page chapters, easy dialogue, and little or no description, but if you never eat at a five star restaurant you will never appreciate how bad fast food really is.
This was actually a re-read for me. The first time I read it, I was in the ninth grade and 14 years old. I was supposed to re-read the whole thing for a class last semester, but have only just now finished. At the age of 14, I found this book to be slow with plot and characters taht were too diffi...
