This book makes me feel as though I'm awful at English... It's a very challenging read, and I don't quite understand the "recalled to life" imagery throughout Book 1. To anyone who has read the book, can anybody help me? What's the significance of the fact that the room Mr. Lorry meets Lucie in is really dark and there's a lot of burial imagery?

A Tale of Two Cities is really a good book.

oh dear. I read this two years ago for school. Really really not my favorite. But I'm not big on feeling like i have to read a sentence twelve times before I get what it's saying at all. I always used sparknotes when I couldn't figure stuff out.

After finishing A Tale of Two Cities, I was actually surprised by how much I thoroughly enjoyed it. I definitely liked analyzing it more than Catcher in the Rye. It was REALLY hard to get into and understand at first, but after a while, you just get used to Dicken's language. Only Charles Dickens book I have ever enjoyed. (I read Oliver Twist and Great Expectations, and those two novels were terribly boring.)
