A review by cooks4eleven
Adam Bede by George Eliot

2.0

I was really enjoying this book. It sometimes made me feel as if I were reading Thomas Hardy, whose books I love. And then I came to the last few chapters and completely changed my mind. It was so unfortunately unbelievable. Seth, the underused, much abused character, again sacrifices his feelings for his family, in this case, Adam. Coming from an author who loves to depict real people, the circumstances resolving this novel are outrageously NOT believable, and I can't imagine any person behaving as Seth did.
Disappointing.
