4.0 out of 5 stars A very moving, emotional book, October 14, 1999

By A Customer

This book is truly wonderful! I admit that when given the assignment to read this for my college novel class, I was a little turned off, but once started, it is magnificent. Dickens was told when he was starting out his career in writing to "Make em laugh, make em cry, make em wait" and he certainly employs this tactic. It is really one of the most superior classics!Read it, I know you'll love it!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved it!, April 22, 1999

By A Customer

I would recomend this book from any teen to adult. I first read this book as a freshmen in high school and I thoroughly enjoyed it. This was my third time reading it and I couldn't put it down. You get into the life of all of the characters and you go through their happiness and pain.

3.0 out of 5 stars description about life during the french revolution in Europ, April 11, 1999

By A Customer

this book is very difficult to read. you need to have a lot of patience, for it takes about 100 words for Dickens to make a point in his book. the story is very well written and the descriptions about life in london and Paris at the time of the French revolution are well depicted. I just think that Dickens needed to speed up his novel, and probably it would have had a better succes.
