"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way."
The best opening I had ever read!
Charles Dickens is more a poet than a writer, as his writing rhymes so well. It was a pleasure reading his work. Every person and every story were entangled with each other and very hard to see how it is ending. It also gives a feeling of French revolution and the turmoil people were experiencing.
