maddiebee 's review for:

Silas Marner by George Eliot

4.0

---

As with most classic novels, its a slow starter, but it gets going like a snowball rolling down a mountain--gaining momentum as it proceeds. A portrait of people and humanity, no one does a better study of human characteristics better than novelists of this age. It was just a very tender portrayal of affection and love and the bonds between people. I just really enjoyed it. The beginning, while slow, did an excellent job of setting the feelings for later on in the book. I don't really know what else to say.
