.Middlemarch (Wordsworth Classics)

by: George Eliot

December 01, 1993
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.

April 01, 1997
this is my 2nd fav book of all time...the characters are beautifully crafted and so special that you end up really caring what happens to them. Lots of twists and turns...simply brilliant, it is no wonder it was an instant success when it was released in 18..something (!!!!) i really should research that but the book is at the other end of the room and i'm v v lazy!! 1859..there ya go!! A book that will stay with you and inspire you Top class

.Silas Marner (Wordsworth Classics)

by: George Eliot

October 01, 1994
Awesome book, simply awesome to the max. The kind of book that's so thrilling, you can't help but jump in the air and exclaim your glee with extreme volume every other page - indeed, I was thrown off the train for that very reason. I finished reading the book at the station in a feast of jumping and yelling, and I regret nothing.

Can't wait for the sequel!

by: George Eliot

October 07, 1993
The Mill on the Floss, published in 1860, traces the turmoil in the life of Maggie Tulliver, a young woman who has a streak of independence but who also feels close to her father and her brother and believes that she must always honor their feelings and wishes.

.The Mill on the Floss (Penguin Classics)

by: George Eliot

February 27, 2003
This is Eliot's somewhat autobiographical novel, and tells the story of Maggie Tulliver and her brother Tom. The story takes place in the village of St. Ogg, and at the Mill on The Floss that's been in the Tulliver family for generations. I thoroughly enjoyed the way Eliot depicted the sibling relationship between Maggie and Tom with all of those ups and downs that we all have experienced with our siblings, and culminating in the final finish of the story that thoroughly blew me away. I think I just sat for a good ten minutes just saying Oh Wow over and over again, and then felt the need to seek out my brothers and give them both a big hug.

The joy of reading this novel or any other by Eliot is her gorgeous prose and brilliant characterizations, even with ... Read More:
