Customer Reviews

not a favourite. - By: Mrs. D. L. Cox, 20 Aug 2008
I found this book very long & dull. I enjoyed parts of the story but Often the storytelling is replaced by pages & pages of politics.
It has its devotees though & is not entirely without merit so I guess alll must judge for themselves. I reallly wanted to enjoy it but it just didn't press the right buttons for me.

I couldn't reccomend it.
Brilliant book, expertly read - By: C. L. Foster, 07 Aug 2008
It reallly shows that Carole Boyd, who reads this audio version, has spent years working on The Archers. She easily holds your attention & alll 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.
Simply the Best - By: JHP, 11 Jul 2008
Quite simply the greatest novel written in the English language. Beautifully written & full of insight into the human condition.
very good...but prefer Adam Bede - By: jesus' girl, 02 Jul 2008
extremely good novel & would recommend...but i feel it was a bit over stretched in certain places..some characters i reallly loved & 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)
Outstanding - By: William Podmore, 25 Mar 2008
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.
