I honestly don't remember any of it. The only bits and pieces I can remember was there was some woman, a shoemaker guy, and it had something to do Paris. And I think the shoemaker had to go to prison for something.

First reread after having originally read Tale in AP Lit two years ago. I knew why it was my favorite book read in high school, but now I remember why it's one of my favorite books period.
"But try! Of little worth as life is when we misuse it, it is worth that effort. It would cost nothing to lay down if it were not."

what an incredible ending! charles dickens is undoubtedly one of my favorite writers, but i have to admit that his writing style can be challenging at times, with his penchant for long, meandering sentences and excessive use of commas - this is especially evident in this particular novel. despite this, a tale of two cities is a captivating read, with well-drawn characters and a clear depiction of the two cities (paris and london) and their starkly contrasting social conditions. the novel's commentary on the french revolution is spot-on, and it's impressive to see how dickens weaves together themes of love, sacrifice, and revenge to create a powerful, multi-dimensional, dark, and hopeful story. yes, the language may be difficult to parse at times. still, i highly recommend this book to anyone willing to invest the necessary concentration and effort in appreciating it fully. it's a remarkable work of literature that speaks to the timeless issues of social inequality and political upheaval.
