adamantia_ 's review for:
A Tale of Two Cities
by Charles Dickens
This book took me nearly 6 months to read, not gonna lie. It starts heavily and slowly, but towards the end becomes super exciting and captivating.
Dickens' specific, so-called "Dickensian" atmosphere: dark, depressing, hopeless and twisted, makes this book not-so-easy read, but it's also this surrounding that keeps the reader till the end. I absolutely admired the character development, the thread of events and of course, the description of time and place. The language is a bit challenging but the choice of words and sentence structures are totally mind-blowing. And the ending, needless to say, makes one's hairs stand still all the way. I shed a few tears, frankly speaking.
"A Tale Of Two Cities" is a true classic that inspires popular culture even in our times. It stood and will always stand the test of time.
