Svitlana Muchichka svitlanamuchichka — Spoilers avoided I hope. Reading Dickens is always problematic for me. I’m never comfortable thinking about reading one of his books. I’ve read four and I feel a sense of accomplishment when I’m finished. It’s not outright fear that overcomes me when thinking about reading a book authored by Dickens. It’s more like that uncomfortable trepidation one feels in their stomach just before you enter the haunted house on Halloween. You know you will come out on the other side okay and maybe even feel better for the experience. But that doesn’t help when you have to make up your mind to take that first step. So far my experiences with Mr. Dickens have all been positive. A Tale of Two Cities was not an easy read for me. It seemed disorganized and early in the book it jumped around form character to character and place to place. I knew that the characters were inter-related and would touch each other in various ways as the story progressed, but in the early stages I didn’t grasp how. Later it was obvious except for a few surprises. It became obvious that Sidney Carton was going to meet his panned fate. Each reader will have to decide if he was a hero or a fool. However it was a surprise to me at how Therese Defarge met hers. Just as she was beginning to see her vengeance realized she was denied seeing the punishment she had waited so long to see. I had no sympathy for her and it seemed a little just to see her cheated? The Tale of Two Cities from cover to cover is about oppression, abuse of power, injustice, and violence. Most of the violence is the result of years of oppression toward the French peasantry by the abusive French Aristocrats. This was expressed by the French revolution but mostly by free and excessive use of the guillotine afterward. An example of justice or just a reversal of power? However the specific act of violence that affected and revolved around all the main characters was a ruthless rape and murder. It was a particularly brutal sequence of events and Dickens was masterful in the telling of the tale.

Mohamed Sherif dishoman — You know how in Stand By Me (and the story it's based on, The Body), the narrator says something about how we never have friends as good as the friends we have in childhood?* In this novel, that's a really good thing. Gwen, Mickey, Tim, Sean and Gordon ("Go-Go") are friends. They explore this giant forest that's behind Gwen's house (this is in the long-ago time when kids were allowed to do things without parental supervision) most of the summer and one day, they find a man who lives in a ramshackle cabin**. Something happens and then the kids don't hang out anymore. Years later when they're grownups, Gordon dies (possibly suicide, possibly an accident) and the other four need to finally discuss and come to terms with what happened that night. This is such a hard book to discuss because it's very Usual Suspects in the way that we only get the truth a bit at a time. (Obviously, I guess, as this is a mystery.) This is a huge departure from her general style, but it's really good. Especially if you can have patience and let the narrative unfold. :) Recommended. In the interest of full disclosure, I know Laura and while I do think of her as "one of my favorite writers, Laura Lippman" and not "my friend Laura," it's probably best to point that out. (At my last job, I used to produce a community news/events show and she was gracious enough to come on twice. And the first time, I think it was literally only my second or third show producing and I didn't know what I was doing. And she still sent me the sweetest email a day or two later. AND she came back a year later---I was much better then.) * = " I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?" ** = I pictured Rustin Parr in The Blair Witch Project
