Book Review! --- A Tale of Two Cities

During the time of the French revolution, are different conflicts and characters. A young lady, Lucie, finds out her 18year dead father is still alive. A man accused of treason, Darnay, wins his case and is pleaded innocent. A family’s son is run over by a high-class carriage. Two men, wanting to marry Lucie, struggle to tell her their feelings.
As Dickens’s novel progresses, the story becomes more and more intriguing, telling of a time of terror and treason during the French Revolution. Dickens’s novel is very descriptive. He uses words that paint pictures in your mind. Unlike most novels, A Tale of Two Cities dives right into a suspense filled beginning. Most novels start out slow, and then become exciting, but this novel is exciting from the first page. Dickens describes his characters extremely well. I feel like I know the sweet Lucie or heroic Carton.
I give this book "Two Thumbs Up!!!"
