kaydio 's review for:
The Mill on the Floss
by George Eliot
My least favorite of George Eliot's novels. Her writing is still great, but the plot is not great. Stephen is not really developed as a character, and it ruins the rest of the book and the rest of the well-developed characters. The entire Stephen relationship comes out of nowhere and is unexplained--why does Maggie feel anything for him, he is vain and has no good qualities, most of what Stephen says to Maggie is guilt tripping her, but he never explains why he loves her. There is no reason given why either one of them love each other, and Maggie's actions didn't bring any happiness to those she was supposedly helping.
