paleflyer 's review for:
A Tale of Two Cities
by Charles Dickens
This book took me a long time to read because I started it, paused to read the God Delusion and 1984 and then decided I needed to finish it before moving on or else I would be in danger of never finishing it.
I found the first half of the book difficult to get through, for some reason I was having trouble staying focused while reading the book – I wasn't following the story well and kept getting distracted. Once I finally put away all my other books and focused on this book (about the part where the revolution was starting to really take place) I started enjoying it much more. I found it more interesting and more gripping. I was surprised to find Charles Dickens has a bit of humor in his writing (my first book of his), but the story was sad. It amazes me that when people become so low that they can do such terrible things.
