Oh, what a mess! I enjoyed Dickens' "A Tale of Two Cities", but this was an absolute chore to get through! The most interesting thing of the book is the notes at the very end! Thankfully I'm done with everything except a few advertisements for other classics.

I just finished the chapter in which the third ghost visits Scrooge. When the story is coherent, it's pretty enjoyable, but there are times when Dickens tends to ramble on unnecessarily. I have to say I prefer the much shorter Goblins story than the Christmas Carol.
