Review of A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens

       Charles Dickens has certainly captured my attention and compelled me to read more of his works. In A Tale of Two Cities, he uses masterful literary techniques to advance the wide spectrum of characters through its compelling theme. I thought the beginning was a little slow, but it picks up quickly. One thing that amazes me is how Dickens gives you such a vivid picture of both London and Paris with all of their inhabitants, peasant and aristocratic alike. The scope of this book seamlessly moves from detailed development of indivituals to a wide focus of the people as a whole in their respective cities, weaving the intricate plot all along the way. All of this contributes to the thesis, which I found insightful and timeless in its lessons on the nature of humanity. The ending is so satisfying in the way it ties together the loose ends, that you'll feel like reading the book again very soon.
