This story is about until Revolution of Paris. Many aristocrats sent guillotine in thi time. In that time, many person worked to survive. This story is interseting, because of many moving of charactor. So when I read this book, I could read this book smoothly. ( )

This story set in France and England in 18th century.
In those days, there were many wars and revolutions.
Charles Darnay is put in prison and he will go to a guillotine.
Because his uncle is an aristocrat.
So, his friends try to help him.
One of his friends, Sydney Carton is kind and brave.
But I didn't want him to carry out his plan. ( )

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. ( )
