    I just finished it. It was a little slow for a while, since Dickens isn’t exactly easy reading. But I sobbed so hard at the end. Has anyone else read it? Did you cry? What did you think?

    I’ve read it; it was a while ago, but I really liked it. :D I had read an abridged version before though, so the ending was spoiled. (Death to abridged versions!) It was really good, love the first and last lines (as over-quoted as they are). And Miss Pross (I think that’s her name?) was my favourite character…Mme Defarge was v. interesting also. :P

    The end was spoiled for me too,(at least partially) due to the back cover description. (Death to spoilers on back covers!)

    Haven’t read it, but…

    I read it! Yes, it was sad at the end. *sniffs* Although I don’t remember actually crying. . .

    What’s her name. . . the French lady who knits? She creeped me out!

    Yeah, Madame Defarge is very creepy. She just has a complete lack of mercy or compassion.

    Off-topic, since I’m reading it for school next year (growls of impatience) : Alyosha, I totally agree! I loathe, despise and abominate abridged books!!! P’raps we should begin a cyberized protest rally: Down with abridged books and back-cover spoilers!

    Yes. Perhaps we should.

    We could at least out it in our signatures, or something. :P

    (Except I don’t think anyone here likes abridged books to begin with…ah well.)

    Are there any TTS movies worth watching? I expect there are about half a million adaptions but I haven’t seen any of them.

    I had started reading the not abridged version about I don’t know maybe two years ago when I was seven but it was way to slow-moving for me. Recently about a month ago I took the abridged version from my school library along with Heide and it was okay but it wasn’t such a great book. 8O
