Adam Bede by George Eliot
3.0
I was likin' this book pretty well, what with all the slamming on them Methodists and their humble dress and whatnot, but the end wrapped up too prettily.
Specifically, Dinah had the hots for Adam for so long, and he'd never thought of her. The day he finds out she likes him, he's head-over-heels totally soul-mates 4ever! And he has to convince her to marry him, without me being convinced of why he'd suddenly love her and not be looking on the rebound for the next hot thing that's right under his nose.
And conveniently, Hetty died in the last couple of sentences in passing, very obligingly, and besides it'd be totally AWKWARD for her to still be around while Adam and Dinah make sho 'nuff hot luv.
Still, I liked it OK. Eliot has a decent sense of humor, and the story was interesting enough, if artificial in the unwinding.
