brendapike 's review for:
Daniel Deronda
by George Eliot
Not my favorite of George Eliot's books. The Gwendolyn and Mordecai sections were so completely separate from each other that it was like two completely different books were grafted together. I found Gwendolyn's transformation more interesting than Deronda's and grew frustrated with the pages and pages of spiritual/political monologue that eventually took over the story. This is particularly disappointing because I absolutely loved the first half of the bookâthe fact that it ended up with two stars shows just how much I disliked the second half. I do appreciate the historical context, but that doesn't make it any more enjoyable for me.
