A review by grantj00
A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens

4.0

Took me a while to ramp up to the prose of the novel. In addition, by publishing the book in a periodical one chapter at a time, made the story feel over embellished at times. I love that in the end he was able to wrap everything back up though. Although some parts like Cruncher digging up bodies seemed like a forced tie-in and inconsequential to the story. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great story, has a lot of great themes such as private vs public imprisonment, but it just wasn’t 5* for me
