I Laughed, I Cried...

Date of Review:  Feb 20, 2000
Review: ...OK, so I didn't really laugh, but "I Cried" is not exactly a great title for an epinion.

?It was the best of times, it was the worst of times?? begins Dickens? chilling story of the French Revolution. In the first chapter of the book,...

A Great Tale

Date of Review:  Sep 13, 2000
Review: Call me simple. Hey, I'm not a literary critic. I write for the masses! So the characters are a bit shallow. So the book might not have the usual literary 'umph' of a Dickens novel. What a story! Dickens's writing style, as always, is fluent and...

Sometimes tough to follow, but a must read

Date of Review:  Jan 1, 2000
Review: I am a huge fan of Dickens' work. "A Tale of Two Cities", however,
does not make the top of my favorite list. I found it to be probably
the most difficult to follow of all his works. One thing that Dickens
does so well is to help you...

I want to avoid the cliches'

Date of Review:  Mar 24, 2001
The Bottom Line: Get past the first 70 pages and you're golden. The ending is the big payoff.
Review: I could have titled my opinion, "It was the best of books, it was the worst of books." (Ironically, one of my literary circle members critiqued the book this way, "It was the best of books, it was the worst of books -- naw, it just sucked!) Or,...

The French Revolution

Date of Review:  Apr 25, 2001
The Bottom Line: Read this book only if you intend to read it and analize it, and only if you will read it with people who are willing to think.
Review: A Tale of Two Cities is mostly about the French Revolution, and it's effect on the very rich upper class, even those who are innocent such as Charles Darney. Dickens great contrast England who had the American Revolution and France who was about to...
