What a bore

          You will, undoubtdly, enjoy reading this book if you have nothing better to do in your free time than to read  a dusty, old Englishman's retelling of a once thrilling historical event. I honostly found reading a  history text book on the French revolution more intresting than Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities. The book lacked any sort of rising action, involving the main characters, until the last fifty or so pages. Don't get me wrong, those last fifty pages were incredibly intreging, but the novel as a whole felt like a gaint let down. When compared to Dickens' other novels, I found this book to be quite lacking in his classic wit and belivable characters. I mean, a doctor that has a mental condtion were he suddenly has to make shoes? Come on, what is that? That's the biggest load of crap I've ever read, and I've read Everyone Poos. Poop jokes aside, it feels as though Dickens was trying to capture the English attitude to the French, pre-Revolution, and, at the same time, twist in his values on the human soul, retribution and revival. However, I got the feeling that, whenever I read these themes, they were the author's impressions, and not the character's natural reactions. Dickens is a wonderful author of romantic novels that are both revealing and moving, however, this is not one of them.
