I loved learning about the French Revolution and, once I got used to the writing style, really enjoyed A Christmas Carol. I really tried to enjoy A Tale of Two Cities, but I felt like the characters were really wooden and one-dimensional. The only exception was the >!look-alike who sacrificed his life!< since he was the only one who did any actual growing through the story.

I also enjoy reading footnotes and endnotes to get more context for stories that were written in other times, but I still thought the book didn’t have any real depth. I was disappointed because I was really looking forward to enjoying this book.
