A Tale of Two Cities Audiobook

" Full review on my blog. "

" I read this some time ago. "

" After I finished this book I had two emotions; one, I felt happy for the first time that I was literate, and two, I realized the flaws in me that I can't ever write something like that. "

" It was hard for me to get through, but I may read it again. "

" Drudgery. Dickens does a good job of establishing a sense of place and time and exposing socioeconomic inequities, but there are way too many uninteresting characters with too little to do. I was hoping for something more focused and dramatic. "

" What a book it is a must read. Grab it "

" Absolutely excellent. Not much else to say about it. "

" When I read this book I didn't like it. I found it confusing and depressing. Looking at it again I like it more. You need to focus on characters instead of plot, gives you a good window into history. "

" Yes, I know it's a classic, but my attention was always slipping from the story and the whole love story was really impossible. It made me frustrated at certain points. "

" Good classic read, of course takes place during French Revolution. Story line revolves between London and Paris "

" Obviously this is an excellent book. It was definitely slow reading and a 2nd-read of it wouldn't hurt! Takes place during the French Revolution and the Storming of the Bastille - it helps if you are familiar with the details of these. "

" Took awhile to get through this book but was well worth the effort. The characters were complex and well developed,the storyline held all the elements of a great historical novel, and of course it was superbly written. I did cheat and read Spark notes first so I had a basic overview. "

" It is a very, very, VERY long book so only start it if you have time on your hands. It can seem tedious at times, but in the end is worth it. It's not the most fantastic book, but has the elements that make up most classics and tells a tale of love and hope among evil and despair. "

" A classic piece of literature that is worth its reputation in this readers mind. I couldn't stand the afterword for the most part though, and thought that Koch was overreaching on some of the themes of the work. "

" I first read this in high school and then again very recently. I loved the book on both occasions. I must read more of Dickens!! "

" A classic good vs. evil human scenario - played out on historical revolutionary backdrop "

" Classic Dickens, and a gripping story. "

" It is very different and much more interesting as an adult than when I was forced to read it in high school. "

" seriously one of my favourite books by one of my favourite authors. "

" I remember that I read this book, and I remember that I greatly enjoyed it. Besides that, I remember little. "

" Always have, and probably always will be swept away with this dramatic story. Great read. "

" i learned more about the tragedies of the French revolution from this one book than from any history book. "

" I listened to the audiobook. "

" Some classics read well every time. "

" My all time favorite book!!! Ingenious! "

" I read through DailyLit emails, a great way to read or re-read the classics. "

" I hate Dickens, and have always had a serious dislike for this book. Wrote a paper on it even. Boring. "

" What a book! What an ending! "

" need a lot of vocab skill to understand this book.. for me of course. but after all, it's gorgeous! "

" One of my faves, read many many times. "
