A Tale of Two Cities

Tale of Two Cities is another of my re-read attempts that I engage in from time to time.  I remember liking the book waaay back in 9th grade, but how would it hold up 30 years later?

It was fantastic.  I'll admit that I was crying at the end.  The writing is beautiful all the way through.  The book is less digressive than most of the other Dickens that I've read; the plot is a fairly straight arc, without a lot of venturing into narrative cul-de-sacs.
