debyik 's review for:

Middlemarch by George Eliot
4.75
challenging emotional hopeful reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

The writing style is as charming and easy to read as a Jane Austen or Louisa May Alcott. I felt like I could relate to some of the characters and cared about what would happen to them. I loved the interactions between the characters and how their lives seemed to intertwine in interesting ways. 
High marks for atmosphere, writing style, and character building. I have a feeling on a re-read I would give 5 stars.
