a tale of two cities

well, i finished a tale of two cities yesterday and i would have to say that it is probably one of the better books i have read. i began reading it over the christmas break and never seemed to be able to finish it because of certain distractions here and there, so it feels pretty good to have it done and read now. all throughout i was very impressed with the visual language and metaphors used by dickens. the way he described his characters and the environments surrounding them blew me away sometimes. i even knew before beginning the general makeup of the story and how it ended and i still found myself very entertained throughout. i really recommend it to anyone who, like me, was supposed to read it in high school but never did because they cheated and read the "cliff's notes" instead. its well worth the time. it was also really cool to read about the french revolution and how the unjustly oppressed ironically became the unjust oppressors through their ascension to power. anyway, good read. check it out.

p.s. i just probably scared heidi better than i have ever scared anyone before in my life...IT WAS AWESOME!...in fact she's still trying to stop hyperventilating from it all...soooo funny!
