challenging emotional reflective sad slow-paced

3.5

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.

Ranking the Eliot novels I've read so far, from best to worst:
  1. Middlemarch
  2. Daniel Deronda
  3. Silas Marner
  4. The Mill on the Floss
  5. Adam Bede
  6. Romola
