The book was actually very interesting! we read it in english, and was one of the greatest books I've ever read!
We read it in English too. The story was interesting enough I just thought it moved really really slowly.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, but it was definitely a pretty good book! Agreed, it is rather slow, but I didn't feel it hurt the story in any way.
I tried reading it when I was younger, but I didn't get past chapter five or so. I've been thinking of giving it another go recently, actually; I've heard lots of good things about it.
