Book 9 in the 2013 book list: A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens

Finished: March 11
A Tale of Two Cities & Great Expectations Audiobook by Charles Dickens
I have only read “A Tale of Two Cities” thus far, but this is the book I bought in an Audible sale a few months back.
I got in the mood for a classic, and no better classic than A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens. I have to admit, it is a bit slow going in the beginning, but towards the midddle and end, it really sucks you in.
I had my favorite characters, and my characters I loved to hate. I will say this book isn’t for just anyone, it actually takes some intellegence to follow the plot and keep interest.
Seeing as I’m a literature minor, it was right up my alley. I read this book once before when I was a freshman in high school I think. I loved the book then, and I still like it as an adult today. My next read won’t be “Great Expectations” because Dickens is someone I can only do in small doses. Because of that I will go after some “junk food” reading that doesn’t require all that much thought to follow. Still deciding what book will be next.
Thinking about either “Defending Jacob” or maybe one of my books on my reread list.
Stay tuned to find out!
TaTa,
Amanda Ellen
