Just okay. I thought it was mostly boring with a few interesting parts thrown in. Glad I listened to the audiobook rather than read it because I don't think I would have been able to finish it otherwise.
This was my second time reading A Tale of Two Cities! The first being in high school. Although there is a lot of detail and very long sentences, these two things appeal to me as a reader. Book One and Book Two set up the novel for a fantastic ending. Social inequality and revenge is at the heart of ...
Charles Dickens is not my favourite novelist by a wide margin. At high school, I found Great Expectations and Oliver Twist underwhelming. Although I loved Bleak House when I read it at university, my positive reaction to that novel did not inspire me to read any more Dickens. And I haven’t done so...

I knew that it was a classic, and that it had a great opening paragraph, but the rest was a complete mystery to me. I was also going to challenge myself, and read the bo...
Another Dickens book I claimed to have read in high school. Though hardly funny in comparison to some of his other work, perhaps this packs more of a wallop, as it is concerned with great events. The ambition also has to be admired. For the most part, I think it is great. Certainly it should be ...
