sabregirl 's review for:

Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy
4.0

God what an overly depressing book. The way it ended was just WAY to, almost, and upbeat way. Seriously? There were many times when I was reading that book that I couldn't help but go "What the hell is going on here?" For the plot and mostly because I had no idea what the hell was going on. It seemed like Hardy would go too much into the details and discriptions and not spend that much time on the actual plot in the book. I got confused a bit to much for my liking but I still stuck it out to the end. I really don't like the ending of this book, Tess would've been justified for her actions yet she dies. And her husband runs off with her little sister before she's even dead? I mean she gave her wish and all about him looking after her but jesus wait until she's cold a little.

I wasn't that big of a fan of Hardy's style in the book. It seemed that he spent a bit to much on the land and actions or reactions than the actual plot in the book which at times caused me to get confused and even bored with what was going on.
