"4.5 stars - There is so much exposition in this book before things start to pick up; however, I enjoyed even the slower chapters. A Tale of Two Cities didn’t even feel very long because it was so fun to read. Sydney Carton is a ******* KING and I will go down swinging for that man."

"One of those rare books that marked my young romantic soul forever. My life is so much better for having read it (sounds really corny, but it is true)."
