A Tale of Two Cities

[Pacman928]

i dont undestand it that well.  too much filler.  can anyone help me?

[Rosella]

I didn't understand it either. Try SparkNotes. XP

[Yonkey]

I've never read that book.

[tessspoon]

I read it, but all I remember is how much I didn't like reading it.

[Rosella]

I just read it last semester and I'm in the same boat as Tess.

Mme. Defarge is driven by revenge, Sidney Carton is awesome, and Darnay is French. XP

[Pacman928]

well, im just though the first book.  no spoilers please!!

[Oldbushie]

Good luck!

And don't you mean the first chapter?

[Rosella]

Nah, A Tale of Two Cities is split into 3 books, which all have multiple chapters.

Like a, and, an, I, he, she, it the, to, be, not, to, be?...oh wait...that's Shakespere (sp?).

[Rosella]

I think he got bonuses for sentences longer than 100 words.

[Delling]

nah, that was Melville  (The man had so very little use for the period.)
