I Didn\'t Like A Tale Of Two Cities
I read a Tale of Two Cities a month ago, not sure why I'm posting about it now. Dickens style of writing I guess just isn't my taste. His really detailed descriptions are kind of good, I can see sort of see how other people like them at least. Mainly what I didn't like about the book was how everyone's lives revolved around Miss Mannete and Darney. Sidney Carton and the old banker were obviously the best characters, I wish Carton had lived and gotten the girl.

Re: I Didn\'t Like A Tale Of Two Cities
If I was reading it casually I might not have liked it much, but I read it for school and it was the best prescribed book I'd ever read.
Also, I have to disagree with a feel-good ending for Sidney. That goes against the entire purpose of his character.

Yeah I remember kind of liking Great Expectations reading it a while ago.
