carmen_moen 's review for:

Far From the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy

4.0

---

A beautiful development of the plot. Towards the end, you start to realize how much the characters have changed from the time you are introduced to them. One doesn't know whether to be hopeful or to despair. It is a difficult read with the old english but enthralling nonetheless, since one can still pick up the essence quite clearly.

For any reader that adores character development.
