A Tale of Two Cities

Rating:
Summary: Tale of Two Cities is the book of all books
Review: Dickens is a winner with this one!!! He portrays all the acrchtypes that we have grown to love. The the shadow figure, the good mother, ect. He shows the French Revolution in action and displays the raw emotion of the human spirit. The two heros of the book are Charles Darnay and Sydney Carton. Sydney is both the shadow figure and the hero, which makes him extra special. The woman in the novel is Lucie Manette and she is one who wins the affection of more than one man. Darnay is the one who wins her love and they get married. Really I don't want to give away the plot but I'll say you should read the book today!!!

Summary: A Book That NEVER got to The POINT!!
Review: I hated this book from the beginning to the end! I hated how you had to read chapter after chapter about some stupid little detail. I didn't enjoy it and do not recommend it for anyone who likes to read an exciting book that keeps you wanting to read more. This is definitely not a page-turner!

Summary: It was confusing and long!!!
Review: "A Tale of Two Cities" for me was a very hard book to be "caught up" in. After a while the book became long, boring and tiresome to read. Even though Dickens' capture of the Revolution does make you think you are there it just never really got my attention as something really good to read. If you like Dickens I'm sure it would be a great book you wouldn't wanna put down but if you aren't really fond of Dickens work I wouldn't recommend reading it, unless you need to

Summary: Another Classical CRAP
Review: Probably one of my all time favorite losers!! Never finished this classic crap. It's dull and meaningless. You'll get lost through every page and it will bore you to tears!!!!! No wonder the majority of high school students HATE reading

Summary: Great version for students who read below grade level.
Review: A Tale of Two Cities is a great "little book" that helps students who will never be able to read the original version. Our society makes many references to lines or characters in the book. If students have never read this book, then they do not understand these references. I used the Illustrated Classic edition for my 8th graders and allowed advanced students to read the original version. This year I need 15 copies!! Too bad the publisher chose to not make copies available

Summary: Perhaps the Greatest Book I've read so far
Review: This is by far the best book that I've read in my 15 years of life. This book has everything that a reader could want; mystery, suspense, drama, humor, etc. There are characters in this book that you will never forget, especially Sidney Carton. Every event that happens in this book is somehow related to the plot. The scenes and events are especially vivid. Dickens is truly a master of imagery. As you read the book the characters become a part of you, and live on in your mind. If you read this book, you will not be disappointed, I guarantee it. " It is a far, far better thing to read this book."

Summary: The One Book Every High-School Student Must Read!
Review: After reading this for a summer reading assignment before my freshman year of high school, I was most pleasantly surprised. I dreaded reading Dickens', and in fact even put it off. But once I started reading, I was shocked that I could understand it, but more importantly --- I LOVED IT! It amazes me that Dickens wrote this fabulous and realistic tale in weekly installments. I loved the book. Now, I hope I ace the test..

Summary: This book gives you suprise after suprise.
Review: This book is full of completely believable coincedences. How are you to know that when ___ marries ___ that he is the son of the man who threw ___'s father into a prison where he went somewhat crazy. If you want to fill in the blanks you'll have to read the book yourself. Sorry
