Horror's Greatest Hits
Rick Kastelein asked this question about A Tale of Two Cities:
I just tried this book yesterday, and barely came trough the first 30 pages. I didnt exactly know who said what, and what there was said. Is it true that this book may be quite a work to read? That i just should try again in som years? Or do you have any tips on how to read this book in a nice way? :)

I could not keep going; often will put me into doze or leave me obscured without letting me get anything out of it. I started anew two or three times after reading some 70- 100 pages. Each time, I gained some grip and the content got settled in my mind so that gradually, I started vividly picturing the novel as I read.

In my opinion, this novel draws a picture of the French revolution days; the impact made on people's minds with a relatively simple plot. As said by so many readers, it might be dry at the beginning. Those who cross a quarter will definitely make it to the end.

As a recommendation, for beginners like me Kindle app will be ideal. It has a dictionary and a comfortable bookmarking mechanism.

Happy reading!(less)
