A review by cemoses
The Eustace Diamonds by Anthony Trollope
4.0
Trollope is an easy nineteenth century writer to read. This is the first book I read in the series and it stands on its own. The book was good enough for me to get the other book in the series.
The book gets a little slow in the middle. There is a long description of a hunt which I found boring. Many of the characters are very manipulative and not sympathetic. In the middle I found this hard. However, then the plot picks up.
On the whole a good nineteenth century novel by which I mean tells a somewhat leisurely story, which I often like, and it has a stronger plot line than most modern novels.
