Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Scarlet

A Tale of Two Cities is one of the greatest pieces by Charles Dickens. I loved this book for its individuality, its historical precisness and ofcourse its engaging text. The book exmplifies beautiful imagery and plenty of suspense. My favorite chapter in the book would have to be the Gorgon's head. The repetition of the word 'stone' gave the chapter a cold, sombre, perfect for what Mr. Dickens intended to do. It was also loaded with foreshadowing to predict the death of the Marquis. This book though being a classic is still a wonderful read to children and adults alike.
