2 out of 5 stars not a favourite.   August 20, 2008
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

I found this book very long and dull. I enjoyed parts of the story but Often the storytelling is replaced by pages and pages of politics.
It has its devotees though and is not entirely without merit so I guess all must judge for themselves. I really wanted to enjoy it but it just didn't press the right buttons for me.

I couldn't reccomend it.



4 out of 5 stars Brilliant book, expertly read   August 7, 2008

It really shows that Carole Boyd, who reads this audio version, has spent years working on The Archers. She easily holds your attention and all the characters are distinguishable from each other. The reading is complemented by short sections of music at appropriate points. I could listen to it repeatedly.


5 out of 5 stars Simply the Best   July 11, 2008

Quite simply the greatest novel written in the English language. Beautifully written and full of insight into the human condition.


4 out of 5 stars very good...but prefer Adam Bede   July 2, 2008

extremely good novel and would recommend...but i feel it was a bit over stretched in certain places..some characters i really loved and others just seemed to be there to pad certain plot development. Bit overlong too, however well worth reading (but i think Adam Bede far superior)

Virginia Woolf wrote that this was one of the few novels for grown-up people. It is indeed a mirror for maturity, George Eliot's greatest achievement.
