As has happened before with Eliot's books, it took me a while to get into it, but once I was into it, I was hooked; it was smooth sailing for most of the middle pages. But I didn't really enjoy the ending, nor some of the minor characters--a woman-hater and a constant complainer are given entirely too much air-time.
