Dickens Classic Tale, a Novel of Dark Despair and the Hope That Shines Brightly Through

Date of Review:  Jan 23, 2007
The Bottom Line: Simply a must read.
Review: It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring...

"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...

Want an Insight into the Devious Defarge? Read A Tale of Two Cities.

Date of Review:  Jun 10, 2002
The Bottom Line: A great read for anyone who is willing to take their time to truly understand the complexities and personal stories of the French Revolution.
Review: Well, I finally decided to do it now that school is over - I'm am going to try to continue writing and reading on a somewhat regular basis here at epinions. I realize that my lack of writing has harmed me in the arena of epinions, but quite...

Quality novel that will exercise your mind

Date of Review:  Jul 3, 2001
The Bottom Line: It has great character development, good plot, and won't be hard to finish. You'll better understand this entire period of history, as well as present and future.
Review: A Tale of Two Cities, by Charles Dickens, is an amazing novel that takes place before and during the French Revolution. It compares and contrasts the conditions and destructive turmoil of London and Paris during this tumultuous time in history...

A Look at Resurrection

Date of Review:  Oct 23, 2000
Review: Resurrection is a major theme of A TALE OF TWO CITIES. Dickens allows Dr. Manette, Charles Darnay, and Sydney Carton to each take their own resurrection to accentuate it as a theme. Dr. Manette is given another chance in society, Charles Darnay is...

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...

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...

A Tale of Two Cities

Date of Review:  Oct 7, 2004
The Bottom Line: Dickens' view on the French Revolution is interesting and valid, even today. While the use of coincidence may be off-putting, it by no means destroys the story.
Review: A Tale of Two Cities is Dickens' vision of the French Revolution, a character drama given much extra weight by the enormous social, political and economic upheavals that were happening in France in the late eighteenth century. While the beginning of...

Dicken's clever use of unnamed charecters

Date of Review:  Apr 28, 2000
Review: In A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens, Dickens has several characters to whom he gives no names. Theses characters are: The Woodsawyer/Road Mender, the Seamstress, the Vengeance, and Jacques III. Dickens does this, because these characters,...

Sacrifice and Resurrection in A Tale of Two Cities

Date of Review:  Mar 24, 2000
