I remember being assigned to read this in my Freshman year in high school. I was excited because I'd been studying the French Revolution since 6th Grade. But I was so bored. The writing felt so dry. My mother rented the audiobook for me, but I fell asleep, and playing it in the car was risky because both my parents had a hard time staying awake as well. I think the only chapters I could comprehend were the last two. Anyway, my classmates fared little better, and we all failed the exam. The teacher gave us all a 15-point bonus out of pity, and no future classes were ever required to read this book - instead, they had to read "Great Expectation", which was also pretty boring, according to my sister, which means something because she loves reading as much as I do. The actual story of this book is very interesting, as is the message, but it's just so hard to sift through the complicated diction. My dad hypothesized that Dickens was paid by the word or paragraph or something, which is why it was so wordy.

[@elizabethc18]

Yeah, that's how a lot of English novels from Dicken's day were written. You'll find that most of them are pretty wordy, but the more you read them, the clearer they become. The first time I tried reading Jane Eyre, it was so hard and I thought I would never get through it. Looking back now, I laugh at myself because it really wasn't hard to read at all.

[@master0fdisguise598]

I'm in freshman year of high school and I have to read it. Theres no exam on it for me theres we just have to make a 3 page book report on it.

[@lisagu101]

Elizabeth Claire Jane eyre is actually okay, the tale of cities is way too hard for me to comprehend 😩

[@pokemonlover1016]

im in seventh grade and my language arts teacher made me read Jane Eyre (which i finished a few weeks ago) and now she recommended that i read this. I only searched this up because this book was a bit hard for me to understand, and i personally think that this audiobook is helping me.

[@teacher5628]

I am a high school English teacher. I use this book to teach about every literary device known to man to my 9th graders ever year. I'm sorry your teacher didn't know how to teach it. My students, most of them anyway, love it and become very involved in the characters. I agree that, although this this reader is technically good and he has a lovely accent, he is just reading with expression. He doesn't know how to make Dickens come to life. This would put me to sleep, also.

[@billhopen]

I really really enjoy the voice, dialects, and reading skill of the reader...it added immeasurably to the beautiful writing of Dickens' work, I truely enjoyed the language read by a" native", (not an American) Bravo!

[@whit2642]

Suzy Says Charles Dickens is hard to appreciate as a high schooler which I’m assuming you guys are as I was also required and much dismayed at reading him and Shakespeare etc at a young age. Well. Shit I’m not old but I’m in my 30s now married with kids and love classic literature. It takes A LOT of knowledge and desire to research of periods long past and societies then. I suggest reading it along in text with the audio. He is a superior author who wrote stories with many many undertones, concurring roles and areas of people and moves very fast with the amount of information in a single few paragraphs. He is no easy read for the most part in longer works. Get the cliffs notes. You’ll be fine. Or print and follow along while listening so you can highlight any thing “profound” worthy.

[@tomrichards4307]

I read this -- not as an assignment -- but because I was fascinated by Dickens' stories and could not put them down. This is definitely 19th century style writing. This is hard for most high school students perhaps, but this book is a phenomenal achievement and you learn a lot about the French revolution. It makes you want to learn more, of course. In his other books, Dickens' characters are so well described that they are alive -- strange, weird, and unique in the middle of their 1850-ish life (again you learn a lot about what life was like back then from these accounts).

I was pleasantly surprised after trying two other Librivox recordings of this book that this narrator *doesn't* have a dry, grating, angry old-man voice that makes me want to rip out all the hair on my body with my bare hands. And *then* he started off being all dramatic and excited, as if novels were supposed to be radio dramas. Then he calmed down again, whew... I'll keep listening...

[@_Tennz]

I do appreciate this FREE recording of this wonderful story however, I am trying my hardest to forgive the fact that all the dialogue is read with a shouting voice as if the characters are yards away from each other! During the ascent up the stairs to meet Ms. Manette's father, Mr. Lorry and Mr. Defarge are whispering so low to one another to keep Ms. Manette from hearing but you'd think they were yelling the way this sweet man read this book.

[@va4567891]

This book was in Sceondary school leaving curiculam for Gujarati High school at G.T.High School, Kalabadevi Road, Bomabay 1967 at that time. We got the feeling of how in prison her father whole time stiching, the same thing after coming out of prison, and other charachter told "I don't care for the world and world don't care for me. devoted himself. France political in kingdom collapses. Grat work author Charles Dickens and titles"

[@danielnewhouse5044]

If you watch the movie the most important part is to say "That thing is the end of all hope" when you see the guillotine. What I noticed is the graphic version of the movie is that the heads disappear in the basket as people are guillotined. I saw one head look at its body and quake with fear because the light coming out had nowhere to go. Julie Ann Walner said since I denied that Kelly McMahon is the love of my life when I was born that I will someday die by guillotine. What happens to a disembarkated soul? It's something like what happens to Tetsuo in Akira. Also, the beheading of Brer rabbit in Song of the South. The light that comes out of the body is called the quickening. Highlander movies. The idea is that if a soul finds its lost head it can rest in peace. Ever heard of the Headless Horseman? The Parisians made some use of Satanic shrines. I think they used these so they didn't have a lot of headless horsemen walking around, and rather than let them rest in peace they forced the severed heads to swear fealty to Satan. This caused the heads to scream and then they put them in a dumpster. Then Jesus takes them and puts them in a catacomb underneath the city of Paris.

I find reading Dickens's is more engaging. Its hard for me to imagine the characters if it's just read out to me.

[@viraticwars]

Does anyone feel a sense of melancholy while listening to this?

[@eternalanglo4452]

Ignore the American 'high-school' kids who dislike this book. This is a phenomenal novel. Those who seek to disparage this incredible novel by such a renowned author only do so to spite their teachers, who they no doubt begrudge for forcing them to read an actual book.

[@chironeis6853]

Jesus, dude, I appreciate the literary merit of this novel too but you can't pretend it's without faults. The writing IS dry and unnecessarily difficult to sift through and focus on. This book is a lot for anyone to deal with, high school students especially. I personally loved it but I won't pretend reading and annotating it wasn't my personal circle of hell. Not everybody has to like the same books, even if it is critically acclaimed literature. Dickens was writing for a group of people who only recently made literature accessible to the common man, in a time when a form called "the novel" was only just becoming popular, and there was little to occupy people's free time, as opposed to today when people have access to infinite amounts of information at the click of a button. The people reading Dickens in his time likely appreciated excessive prose because A, literary material was harder to come by so you had to savor what you had, and B, obviously people were more accustomed to the style of language of the time. Kids today with their short attention spans (which are not entirely their fault) are more likely to have difficulty with such a long and wordy novel. A Tale of Two Cities was not written for teenagers born a century and a half after it was published. Students aren't expressing their frustration simply to piss off their teachers. TLDR: Dickens is difficult and students have a right to be frustrated with it.

Because _everybody_ knows that _nobody_ is allowed to express an opinion if they make one or two grammar mistakes!

[@josh_joseph_159]

It’s an expression that means people were saying what they do for any time. Like today, some people say we’re at our peak right now and others say we are all going to get killed tomorrow. Dickens was pretty much saying it was a fairly normal time, and then described the time (the Kings and queens) to give you a certain date. Then the next paragraph he gave the exact year.
