One of the finest novels I've had the pleasure to read and reread.
Makes me shed tears at many points. Moving me despite the repeated number of times I have read those incidents.
I can swear that no other villain has instilled in me a terror that is equal to what I feel everytime I read about Madame Defarge. Freezes my bones and shakes my entire being to remember her grit and hardened heart.

One word: beautiful.
"It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known."
(Full review to come after I recover from a heavy, but awestruck, heart.)

3.5 solely for Sidney Carton and no one else 🖤
I read this back in high school and liked it quite a bit, as I recall. I remember that the guillotine scene was strategically placed so that when you turned the page, the next page was all red. Pretty graphic and very cool to a teenage reader.

An amazing read. A touching and powerful account of an infamous time and details the plights of humanity while telling a fantastic story. Ending made me cry like a baby
