espressoreader 's review for:
A Tale of Two Cities
by Charles Dickens
This book was assigned to my sophomore honors class, but as the teacher felt it was antiquated she made it optional. As a teen I was inclined to agree with in as I felt it was tedious and so never finished it.
Presently, I discovered that I was interested in a synopsis I read and decided nothing would be lost if I failed to enjoy the book and that I could always set it aside for something more modern.
I was shocked to find, in rereading the beginning chapters, I found the writing beautiful instead of tedious and soon I was tangled in the plot!
This book is beautifully written. Sympathies for the characters are easily obtained despite the fact that the author does not intricately describe their thoughts beyond immediate action and conversation. This book exemplifies devotion in all aspects of interpersonal relations.
I think when my son is older I will try to interest my husband in reading it with me to my son. Perhaps we can engage him in the literature and the history.
