paperdove980 's review for:

Middlemarch by George Eliot
4.0

It starts off slow and gentle and I found myself thinking 'is this it? Is this what everyone has been raving about?' But it builds and builds, layer upon layer upon layer. You are drawn into a subtle web of characters and events and suddenly find yourself reading till four in the morning because you just can't put it down. Unusually, I found myself interested in what happened to each set of characters in each subplot. Great book.
