It's classic Dickens, so I can only give this so high a rating. The man sure loves his descriptions of food and fog. But it's shorter than A Tale of Two Cities, so it was palatable.

But it was interesting to read the original and see how movie adaptations have altered it (or not). I was also surprised to find a very spirited first/third-person narrator. It was definitely not something you see in modern books. It was interesting, in fact, to read this and know how much would not fly by modern standards.
