I am quite a big Dickens fan, but A Tale of Two Cities is not the easiest
onr to start with. He can be SO longwinded and boring. When I was little my
dad read some Dickens to me, we used to miss bits out where he got boring.
But, we accidentally missed the really exciting part in David Copperfield
where he bites Murdstone's hand, then suddenly some massive event had
happened and we were totally confused! Anyway, this ramble is really to say
I totally sympathise, but keep perservering and you may find you like him.
Love,
Lucy-Ruth
