A Tale of Two Cities by Charles DickensMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
It was the best of books; it was the worst of books. OK, that is really corny, but it does sum up how this book felt to me. Reading Charles Dickens is very difficult for me. At times, I would get lost in what he was trying to say. In fact, I had to resort to Cliff notes on the Internet to fully understand some of the passages--especially when he would write using the dialect that the English would use, and when he would try to translate French idioms into an English equivalent. They story is very tragic yet is encouraging.
