sammystarbuck 's review for:
Adam Bede
by George Eliot
Not my favourite Eliot, but not my least favourite either. 2.5 stars rounded up because I'm feeling generous.
There were some sections that were incredibly good, including the first 100 or so pages, and the trial, but also a lot I found a bit on the dull side. The title character is a bit of a non-entity really... The main attraction is easily Hetty, followed perhaps by Dinah. Still, worth a read if you enjoy Victorian literature, and Eliot in particular, but not in the same league as the likes of [b:Middlemarch|19089|Middlemarch|George Eliot|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1568307771l/19089._SY75_.jpg|1461747].
