kalliegrace 's review for:

Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy
4.5
sad medium-paced

4.5 stars, I didn't know anything about this book before reading it, and the introduction gave away most of the plot so...I know it's a classic but come on, we all have to read them for the first time at some point! 
I love Hardy's writing, and his portrayal of a woman in unfavorable circumstances is impressive for the time (as far as I know, I was impressed anyway). It really is tragic, but can a girl find one decent man on the planet?
