It was okay. All of the characters seemed one dimensional (Lucie in particular was way too good and perfect). Some parts were really boring and hard to get through (carriage ride... yawn), though I will say the last quarter or so was pretty great! All of the different threads finally came together, and you got some great reveals, and great images. The knitting sticks out to me at the moment. And then the last couple of chapters were wonderful. Carton in particular. And of course you get the two great quotes that bookend the entire book. Wonderful! But not enough to entirely cancel out the bad bits.
