This is story of the French Revolution. There was a man with white hair and his name is Dr.Manette. For eighteen years he was a prisoner in the Bastille but not because he had done something wrong.　He just knew about the secret of marquis st.Evremonde brother. His friend,
who worked at Tellson's Bank, Jaruis Lorry,went to Paris to save Dr.Manette. But in the stormy years of the French Revolution, the people were poor, hungry and unhappy. They were angry with the king and his nobleman and they wanted to see nobleman were to kill with a terrible machine of death, Guillotine.
I think historical context makesthis book good, but as young reader, I wondered if the story has more romance.
I think the author wants us to know that people has an air of disturbance in French Revolution.　Readers need to know about French Revolution to understand and enjoy the book. I like this book because I'm interested in the French Revolution.

Everybody needs to read this book, in my opinion. It is one of the most powerful reads I've ever experienced. ( )

This is the novel that the author had written about the London and Paris before and after France revolution.It is mainlu written about the difference between the aristcrats and the civils.
The vocabulary is not difficult,but the relationships of chractersare complex,at first,it is thought that you are hard to underdstand. ( )

Dickens takes his time to spin the threads, weaving them all together in a tight conclusion.
A recommended read, especially for those interested in the turbulent first years of the French Revolution. ( )

I waited much too long—two months—to write this review, so that it's difficult for me to put things together. What subsists is only the flavour of the book. But finally, isn'it the most important?

I found difficulties to enter the story, and I suspect I'm not the only one who noted the incredibly slow pace of, say, the first half of the book. One really needs to know that Dickens first published it in episodes in a newspaper to understand why he keeps to phrases like "in the year seventeen-hundred-and-eighty-nine"—just to make one more line, at least it seems to me.

Then, everything precipitates, collapses, rushes in a tremendous pursuit up to the end. Being French, I thought I would appreciate the atmosphere of the French revolution in Paris at the time of the Terreur. Dickens is rather deceptive on this point. The revolutionary Paris he depicts is just fake, and one doesn't believe even a second in the bloody events his imagination reports. But anyway, the story is there, Dickensian and unbelievable as it should be. I owe that I read the last pages much quicker than the first.

I've only read three of Dickens's novels up to now. I continue to put David Copperfield first, then A Tale of Two Cities, and Great Expectations in third position. ( )
