A Tale of Two Cities: Reflection

I was a guy who hate reading book, lazy, and love something that has nothing to do with my thinking. But when I first start reading this book called "A Tale of Two Cities" written by Charles Dickens, a famous writer who live on the 80s and wrote many popular book, recommended by my friends. I started feeling that reading book is not that boring. By reading this book I get to know about what is the real meaning of "LOVE".

This book is most likely about love. In Thai they would called it love triangle in which a guy loves the women but the women instead loves the other guy. This book also told me something important that is about sacrifices. Carton sacrifices himself to save Darnay because of the love he had with the female character Lucie Manette. Having sacrifices in this story make the story felt gloomy something like that.

I dislike the story a bit because of the ending. The story end in a sad way I think because Carton sacrifices himself to save Darnay. I doesn't know that people think the same way as me or not, but the ending I like to have is that both Darnay, Carton, and Lucie are still alive and live happily after. But instead the story ends with sacrifices which results in sadness.

Even though, I dislike the story a bit but I would like to read it again. The most part of the story are interested with adventures and romantic parts. I would like to recommend this book also to my friend to read because is very exciting. By reading this book I've overcome my laziness, and the feeling about hating book. So all I would like to said is that this book is very exciting and you won't regret after reading this book.
