A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
3.0

The book gets steadily better throughout and the French revolution setting shapes the character relations in interesting ways. I found the ending particularly satisfying. My main issue with this book was that sometimes important plot points were unclear until later on in the novel when I would realize that I had misinterpreted earlier chapters. Additionally, I didn't feel like I got to know some of the characters well enough; many of them lack definition. Overall if I had been less confused while reading, I would have enjoyed the experience a lot more.
