benwillie 's review for:

A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
5.0

One of the best works of historical fiction ever. Dickens, per usual, does a perfect job with descriptions, characters, plot, and wordsmithing in general. The ending brings one to tears. I think I agree with J. K. Rowling when she refers to this book as having “the most perfect last line of a book ever written.” Would definitely recommend, and I'll be rereading this in the future.
