snoodle72 's review for:
A Tale of Two Cities
by Charles Dickens
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Character
Strong character development:
Yes
Surprising courtroom drama.
The best description of men travelling in a stagecoach.
Writing for a movie scene before people had movies.
France good, France bad.
I liked the way it jumped around between characters at the start, because I found each individual story interesting, but I think you have to trust it is going somewhere rather than know it is going somewhere.
The foreshadowing and patterns in the plot are really good.
Middle 15% (end of book two) was the weakest for me. I think we needed more Sydney to make the end make sense.
I liked Mr Lorry, Sydney, Madame Desparde and Dr Manette.
I didn’t find Lucie or Darnay as interesting.
