A review by brisingr
Far from the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy
4.0
first read: idk sometime in eight grade, ~2011-2012 but ofc no exact dates
second read: 1st of april 2022 - 2nd of may 2022
was this book much longer than it had to be? yes. did that make it really difficult to get into reading it, whenever i had to pick up the book? yes. was the writing style SO beautifully descriptive and so satisfying because of it? also yes, yes, yes. while i took an accidental hiatus from reading this in april, i am so satisfied to finally have finished it. i obviously couldn't remember much from my first time reading it, and this was one of the rare instances (?? maybe, or maybe tess d'urberville just traumatized me) where thomas hardy actually lets me feel some happiness. was everyone but angelically named gabriel an absolute bitch-ass though? yes. entertaining drama though
