4.0 out of 5 stars It keeps going, and going, and going...., August 31, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: A Tale of Two Cities (MCI) (Bloom's Modern Critical Interpretations) (Hardcover)
Part of the reason Dickens uses his "flowery" language, despite the effectiveness in creating vivid imagery, was that he was paid by the word. Therefore, his wordiness should not solely be considered an artistic choice, which makes you a bit more sympathetic to how long winded this book can seem. It is however a classic for good reason, with a compelling plot, even without very memorable characters. Still a good book to read for its historical context, and if you can handle the language it, for its good story.
