The Eustace Diamonds by Anthony Trollope

3.0

This is a great book, probably a four star book, but I did get tired of reading about Lizzie Eustace by the end. She is such an annoying character. In fact, most of the main characters are fairly annoying in this book. There's Lucy Morris, who's so cloyingly sweet and good and subservient to her lover that I couldn't stomach her. And Frank Greystock, who I think is a cad and shouldn't be let off the hook by blaming Lizzie's female wiles. Lord Fawn is ridiculous, and the rest of the supporting characters are just creepy. Still, it's a fun story, and full of wry, witty narration and insights into human nature.
