A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens

5.0

---

So I tried to read this book two or three years ago and couldn’t get through the first chapter. But I have been determined to read it because of all the references in The Infernal Devices (and I am in love with Will Herondale so). When I had to read it for my Victorian Literature class I was excited, and I’m so glad I finally read the whole book. Yes, I read most of it using the “No Fear Translation” on SparkNotes but that was just because I had to answer 134 questions throughout the process of reading. Anyway, I loved it. I don’t know what else to say, other than the ending made me so sad and I can’t decide if I love or hate Sydney Carton.
