I had an (maybe more than one) English class that read Great Expectations and A Tale of Two Cities. I don't recall the class being turned off. I know I enjoyed them and others enjoyed them. I would guess it is more a matter of how the material is taught, the teacher, and the students.
I read other Dickens novels after school; I believe one of them was for the MR book club.
