Read this book in high school. It made quite an impression. I want to go back and read it again sometime. ( )

This is a great book! It is about the lives of several people who live in London and Paris about the time leading up to the French Revolution. Is has a lot of passion and it is a heroic book with tragedy, but with a great ending.

I read this book in high school. It was a hard read, but one I have never forgotten. Dickens does make it a bit difficult to read, but I got through it fine with the help of a great English teacher.

I can think of many ideas of ways to use this book in the classroom. If this is a 9 or 10th grade class I could break them into groups and have them choose from 3 or 4 project ideas that I have. One could be to build a replica of the city with the guillotine in the center of the city or Bastille. The other would be to create a newspaper using the significant happenings in the book as headlines. They could even do a skit of one of the more memorable scenes from the book.

This is a great story; artfully crafted, beautiful imagery, powerful emotions. It is a tragedy that Dickens never knew that he would touch so many, but such is the life of the unknown artist.

I was drawn (as many are) to Sydney Carton, the embodiment of tragedy and beauty.

I also listened to the audio book read by Frank Muller. I thought the story couldn't be more moving until it was performed by an extraordinary vocal actor. ( )

This is an amazing book! It has lots of twists and turns, love and drama, leading up to the French Revolution. Like the first line says, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." I loved it because of all the surprises and it keeps you guessing at whats going to happen next! ( )

Although I knew French Revolution, I didn't know about common people.This book told me about them, it was interesting. ( )
