A Tale of Two Cities (Puffin Classics)

Summary: A Classic for a reason
Review: When I decided as an adult to revisit some of the classics I believed were foisted upon me as a high school student, I started with "Tale of Two Cities;" I couldn't have made a better choice.

The characters in almost all of Dickens' works are so true to life that you feel like you know five or six people that resemble each of them. This book's characters are no different. You come to care for some, hate others, and have mixed feelings about many. I literally performed a small fist-pump at one point in this book after an event that I felt necessary for my own vindication.

It's easy to see why this book has been read consistently since its writing. Join the legions who have read this one already. It will be anything but a chore.
