A review by eleonora_s
A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
5.0
First time reading Dickens! I had a bit of a rough start when I had to Sparknotes what the heck the first chapter was about b/c I didn't know what a "Dover mail" was. Once I got into it, I got hooked. The story was super engaging.
This first read was for the story and plot. My next re-read will be for the language. I was so eager to find out what will happen next, that I didn't always take the time to slow down and appreciate these SENTENCES!
Also, while I was reading this, my friend told me that the level of wealth inequality today is larger than it was at the start of the French Revolution. The vivid descriptions of absurd poverty and absurd wealth were eerily relevant to to-day........
