A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens - FULL AudioBook (B1 of 3) V2 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.

the person who read this did an incredible job! i found myself laughing at different parts and over all i understood the first book better just because of the emotion and character that he puts into his reading! it's a hard but interesting read and the symbolism and writing is just beautiful and i definitely recommend this book to everyone who is up for the challenge!

Any teacher trying to install a love of reading in students, should be made to eat this book. No need for such a boring, long- winded tale in this day and age.

I remember the trials were trying to investigate some kind of conspiracy. The problem is they executed the one man who realized what happened.

Brenda Timmons says that I should get my head cut off so my mother can take me out hell to make sure I'm a good person.

Sorry, but there is too much emotive voice in this recording. Seems I am not in the majority of emotive readers. Cheers.

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