halaagmod's review against another edition
Full of flat and annoying characters, dry and longwinded paragraphs drone on for pages about absolutely nothing, horrible pacing, pointless conflicts, coupled with a love triangle that really adds nothing to the plot and makes no sense when the whole point is the characters being caught up in the middle of the French Revolution. It's clear Dickens was more concerned with his writing and making the story sound good when reading aloud than making an interesting and coherent story with any level of depth.
It's probably a classic for a reason, but honestly
Graphic: Murder, Child death, and Violence
Moderate: Confinement
Minor: Domestic abuse, Death of parent, and Misogyny
