phyllocrania_paradoxa 's review for:
Middlemarch
by George Eliot
I can see why this book is a classic! It was rather long, but I got increasingly into it, and was riveted by the last 4-5 hours or so (on Audible).
I was especially enamoured, as I'm sure many are, by the story of Fred and Mary, but I found Dorothea's tale also fascinating, although she was (at first) a much less likeable character. I wish we knew what happened to Farebrother in the end! I hope he was happy.
Also just a word of admiration for the Audible narrator Juliet Stevenson, who did the huge cast of characters in such distinct tones that I really felt that I got to know them. Her skill in reading, combined with the witty and engaging text, made this a very fun read.
