I read this for my Language Arts class in high school, and figured I'd muddle through it or sparknote it. Instead, the intense symbolism and rich characters, the danger, secrets and sacrifices drew me into a tangled web of love and deceit. The knitting, the blood running in the streets, the parallel and contradicting lives fascinated me. Just about everything in this book was wonderful writing. Not to mention the added benefit of getting context for some of the most famous lines in literary history.
ok so um yeah......
i feel like i wouldve given this book five stars if i didnt have to annotate it all and fill out like twenty questions a night for it....... and all the tests my teacher made us do... no just no
but this book lowkey had me entranced like the storyline was good and all and I loved the lessons dickens is trying to convey..... but again ANNOTATIONS

Maybe I missed something because I was listening to it while at work, but I thought the book was just ok and I can't figure out why it's a "classic."

Finally. Finished. I could do without Dickens' wordiness because when I think about it, the plot and symbolism were quite good. I liked Defarge's knitting--and her undoing. And who cannot love Sydney Carton's sacrifice? Well... if only he had offered himself up for characters who were more likable. Dr. Manette and Carton were my favorite characters--the rest were a bit bland for me.
