iancann 's review for:

Middlemarch by George Eliot

4.0

---

Well I'm not sure what new and dazzling insights one can spew forth about Middlemarch at this stag of the game except to say it's a dashed good read, thoughtful and clever whilst not losing sight of the plot. The characters feel real and knowable and as if they exist once you've put the book down. The wider political context of the times is deftly handled too, so I'm glad I've read it.
