A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
 
Book Club Recommended
Difficult, Epic, Dramatic

I remember I had to read this book in high school and I liked it then. This time it was much more difficult to read. I am not alone in this...most of my book club members also had difficulty with the language and remembering who was who since it did have a lot of characters. We did end up having a great discussion so it was worth the struggle to finish the book on time!

Broken Harbor

Our Book group reaction to this book was varied from 2 to 5 stars. It was difficult because of some of the subject matter (murdered children) but it was also interesting and insightful about police procedures and interrogation.

This book our club rated 3.5 stars. We really enjoyed reading about behind the scenes in the film industry that was in this story. We found it different then then usual Dick Francis Books - all about the horse industry.

Our book club received advanced copies of this book. WOW what a story. It deals with anorexia. It is a difficult subject matter but the book was so well written that it is easy to read from start to finish. I can honestly say I learned a lot from reading this novel.

Second reading

11/8/2023 - book club selection. For this second reading I listened to the audiobook and read the book at the same time. It did not improve my opinion of the book. Still just OK. Some people in book club LOVED the stories and others did not. It did cause a great amount of discussion so it is a great selection for book clubs....especially those like us that live in Florida.
