A Tale of Two Cities (Penguin Classics) 52 reviews
Charles Dickens
Penguin Classics, 2003
Rewarding
Some honest disclosures. My strongest academic credentials relevant to literary criticism are that I minored in English. I have never been a "student" of Dickens. I enjoy Shakespeare plays in the same manner that I enjoy analyzing baseball games: I always get the point and relish in the general purpose of the production, but there are finer nuances that are beyond me and most of the people ...

Billy Budd, Sailor (Enriched Classics)1 review
Herman Melville
Pocket, 2006
Brilliant but Difficult
Melville is an exceptionally difficult author for the modern reader. His wind-up to the events forming the core of the book is unpardonably long. And he is an intrusive and wordy narrator who can't resist frequent digressions.
Still, once he gets to the confrontation between Billy and his accuser, Billy's impetuous criminal assault, and then the captain's moral dilemma at trial, Melville's ...

good and evil
Personally, I thought this was a great book. This book follows a man named Billy Budd through the end of his life spent in the English navy. Although this book had some boring parts, it was overall a great story line. I was impressed with story more than the writing, which ran a little longer than I thought it should have in some parts. However, the main story was very clever and presented a lot ...

Helen Prejean at her very best
All those who support "lawful" executions must read this book. It should give even the most ardent supporters pause to think. This may be especially true for those public officials still in office today.
