A review by june_englit_phd
Felix Holt, the Radical by George Eliot

3.0

I normally soak up 19th century classic novels, as they are my favourite genre. However, I have to confess to struggling with this novel. I have got to page 298 (chapter 31) and am finding it extremely "heavy weather" and am finding the plot hard to follow. "Middlemarch", to my mind, was much more readable. I am hoping that the final half of "Felix Holt" improves, as I am determined to stick this story out.

I have read other political novels, most recently the Palliser series by Anthony Trollope, which were extremely readable and enjoyable. I honestly can't say the same for this novel so far.
