I've read a bit of Dickens in the past - not a lot, because I find him quite wordy - but I do always enjoy adaptations, because the stories are so good. With this one, perhaps because it's more pacey than some, or perhaps because it was audio and I listened a bit at a time, I really enjoyed it - a gripping story and quite witty in places. It was also really interesting to see how the end was reached - as the end is so famous, I knew the main thing that happened, but didn't really know the backstory of how or why Sidney Carton is in that position. Anyway, a real corker - you can really understand why it was one fo the best selling novels of all time for so long.
