Madame Guillotine: A Tale of Two Cities

Date of Review:  Aug 28, 2006

"I see a beautiful city and a brilliant people rising..."

Date of Review:  Sep 4, 2005
The Bottom Line: A wonderful, heartrending novel. If you're a Dickens enthusiast, enjoy it again. If you're a Dickens novice, this is a good place to start.
Review: When I was in college in the late 1980s, one of my English professors used to keep cartoons posted on her office door. One of my favorites was titled something like "confessions of an English major" and portrayed two graduates wearing caps and...

Is it a far, far better book than you have ever read before?

Date of Review:  Apr 28, 2000
Review: At the time this was written, France and England had the same social conditions. The aristocracy ruled, the peons suffered beyond suffering. Then came the French Revolution. Dickens was trying to point out that if major social changes weren't made...

Classic Dickens...

Date of Review:  Dec 11, 1999
Review: Within Charles Dickens? A Tale of Two Cities, the classic telling of love and life, is overshadowed by a more powerful theme that dominates and paces the story. The theme is revolution, and no subplot or story describes the revolt better than the...

This is a love story, not an action-packed thriller

Date of Review:  Apr 26, 2005
The Bottom Line: If you like romantic stories, this is the best one written. Read it.
Review: Having read some opinions regarding this book, and more particularly the reviews on those opinions, I felt compelled to add my own. The previous reviewers - all of the previous reviewers - seem to have read this book to analyze it. Indeed, they even...
