Fantastic read. Easygoing pace makes for a relaxing read (you know, a rainy Saturday, might-take-a-nap-with-the-book-on-my-lap kinda read). The captivatintly tangental storyline makes for delightful reading, as though someones sharing bits of juicy, provincial gossip with you, circa 1850.
Adam Bede, the main character, is as appealing an antihero as any. His puritan virtue is as implausible as it is charming, and the absolutely sinful situations he finds himself in and his dealings therein relfect the moralities of the times.
This story makes for both a great character study and fabulous historical insight. I'd reccommend it to any fans of Bronte sisters, Austen, Dickens, Defoe, Shelley, or the other Romantic greats.
