Status Updates From A Tale of Two Cities

Look, I enjoy classics. But I’ve read a handful of Dickens and I just…I don’t like it. I haven’t enjoyed anything he’s written. I’ve had a few people recommend this and it’s just not for me. Every character is just a caricature or feels like a trope. Since I dislike all the characters, I’m trying to focus on the overall storyline, but the prose are just so dull and go on and on and on.
