The last two chapters of this book are quite predictable, and maybe the biggest surprise was that Mrs. Pross killed Mrs. Defarge. I wouldn't have expected Mrs. Pross to protect Lucie that much.
Sidney Carton dies honorable for Charles Darnay, who succeeds to escape from Paris with Lucie and their child. Mrs. Pross and Jerry Cruncher leave from Paris too after she has killed Mrs. Defarge. It seems like that Mrs. Pross doesn't mind that she lost her hearing when she killed Mrs. Defarge because she did it for Lucie.
I liked reading this book even though I sometimes felt that there was too many "loose ends" in the book, but after I had finished the book, I noticed that the those "loose ends" weren't loose anymore.
Compared to what I thought about Charles Dickens as a writer before I started reading this book, I have completely changed my mind. I don't know why I thought that books that are written by Dickens, are booring and difficult to understand. Now I know that it might be interesting to read more books that are written by him.

I agree that the last chapters of the book were quite predictable. But you have to admit that it was written really well - especially the face off between Madame and Miss Pross. I enjoyed reading it.
I thought that there were a few thing that were kind of surprising i wasn't expecting Mrs. Defarge to not trust her husband that was something i didn't really see coming.
