lealeab5 's review for:

A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
4.0

Three years. Three attempts at reading this book. Today I read the final sentence. And it was beautiful.

What can I say about this novel that hasn't already been said? Dickens captures the grand, horrific frenzy of Revolution that sweeps through the streets of France purging the country so the Patriots can begin anew, creates heroes who epitomize love, loyalty, and self-sacrifice, and villains sinister and skilled, and crafts a story that slowly builds to a page-turning adventure and ends with scenes poetic and poignant.

Timeless story. Truly a classic, and well worth the read.
