This book is yet another Dickens masterpiece--hilarious in just the right places with lovely (and slightly terrifying) insights into humanity before/during the French Revolution. My only complaint was Lucie--she came off as slightly one-dimensional at times.

This book got so much better when I realized that the two cities mentioned in the title were not London and Paris, but instead the conflict between the metaphorical cities of Sydney Carton being so epic and everyone else being so lame
