A review by erinbrenner
Doctor Thorne by Anthony Trollope
4.0
I always hesitate when I read a Trollope book, despite having read half a dozen now! They always start out slo-o-o-o-w and I have to be in the mindset to wait for the action to get going. Yet they do get going and are engaging and even funny at times. Doctor Thorne is no exception.
The writing in the first couple of chapters is worth the time, too. It's full of lovely details that really bring the characters and location to life for me. And it's amazing that Trollope can tell you the ending right up front and still the book is entertaining and suspenseful.
I won't wait so long to read another Trollope novel.
