booking_along 's review for:
Barchester Towers
by Anthony Trollope
I never know what to say about Trollope's books.
Especially this series since there is just not a lot to say that not everyone else also mentions.
There is a lot of church politics and talk about all those interconnecting systems of what makes the church work as it does by/with the white rich people.
But what i personally always love about Trollope's works is his characters.
He manages to write people in a way that makes me love them even when i hate them, makes me feel as if i know them at the end of the book and don't want to leave them because it feels as if i am leaving behind a friend.
In this book particularly i hate most characters in it, since they are just not good people. At least not really. They might try to be or try to seem that way, but generally they are not nice or actually good people.
So having an author being capable of making me enjoy a book full of dislikable if not hate-able characters is something that not a lot of authors manage to do. But Trollope? He does manage it and makes it seem as if its easy!
Clearly i enjoy this series and this book as well.
