unionmack 's review for:
Silas Marner
by George Eliot
While this book is among the most heartwarming I’ve ever read, it’s far from saccharine. Eliot is such an astute observer of human nature—all the little things we say and do and the secret reasons we do them—that the emotional payoff of this little story feels far more legitimately moving than any sort of Hallmark movie bearing similar themes. Her characters all truly come alive and her prose is outstanding. There are certain moments where it feels like some plot holes are present or that the book may even be too brief for its own good, but it’s still just a joy to read.
