I like this story because it was very interesting. And when you start to read it you will want to read more. Its about England and France. Doctor Mannete and Lucie Mannete has to go to England because there is war in France.

this book is quite hard to read because they use long words and some are in French.

I think others should read this book as it is a very tragic yet so humorous of a story. Charles Dickens, similarly to his other books, made a nice link between the characters.

The book is set in the French Revolution, a time where aristocrats and the monarchy was being overthrown, and London, both cities vividly depicted with blood and famine.

At first, there is a man called Mr Lorry who saves the miserable Dr Manette from his imprisonment, and 5 years on, with help from Dr Manette's wonderful daughter, he is back to his old self. Soon, another person, Charles Darnay gets married to her and Charles' lookalike, Sydney, is wallowing... When Charles (who is the son of one of the brothers who locked Dr Manette up in the first place) goes back to France, he gets himself into a whole lot of trouble. However, Sydney - that comic character - comes to the rescue, sacrificing himself for Charles using a few tricks...

Overall, it was a fabulous book and I would encourage others to read it.
