A Tale of Two Cities

I have now learned why I have never read Charles Dickens  (other than A Christmas Carol)  while he is a great classic writer his book a tale of two cities takes forever to get started and for the average mind is hard to follow.  The language is very beautiful but the story wasn't as good as I had thought it would be.  I am glad I read it just to have read Dickens work but it will be a while before I tackle Great Expectations.   For those looking for a good classic with great descriptive detail than this is your book if you need a intriguing story that i might suggest Alexander Dumas or some other great author!
