A review by lotusmeristem555
Dr. Thorne by Anthony Trollope
3.0
Well.... This book was a mixed bag.
On one hand, how many times can you hear the same thing and watch the same characters perform the same schtiks. If only the book was only half as long. If only there were the spicy characters of Barchester Towers...
But, the social criticism is extra-snappy in this book, and some of the characters are admirable dears, and all characters are realistic and deep.
Also, "Dr. filgrave" is an excellent name. In general, Trollope's naming is one of his book's redeeming qualities.
