Middlemarch by George Eliot
4.0

Truly masterful. The sheer scope of the novel is simultaneously daunting as it is admirable. It could have been shorter, but the majority of novel fits together like uniquely constructed puzzle pieces. There are truly no side characters here. Each one receives dedicated chapters, perspectives, and storylines that are seamlessly interwoven. While the vocabulary gets advanced at times and the chapters dense, the euphoria you’ll feel once you’ve finished the novel is all the motivation you need to keep reading!
