Book Reviews of A Tale of Two Cities (Cliffs Notes)

Book Review: A Life Saver for Any Modern Human!
Summary: 5 Stars

This cliff notes saved my life! As a student who needed to read a Dickens' book, I was more than confused. While the book is a classic, the structure and style makes it a hard one to read. I have to say that I did in fact read the book, the whole book, no skimming or cheating. However, I read each chapter and then read what Cliff Notes had to say on it. Cliff Notes really clarified what happened and offered insight into a book full of depth and metaphors. I recommend this to anyone, though I also caution against reading only the Cliff Notes. While they were insightful and a major help to myself, they do not tell the whole story or all the details. This was a great weapon to have in my arsenal!
