Book Review for English class.

do not recommend this book to anybody for a number of reasons. First of all, it is very boring and reading can become extremely tedious at some points. The storyline and plot is actually very interesting, but I think that if Eliot had presented it in a less descriptive and detailed way, it could have been much easier for a larger spectrum of readers to comprehend the messages she was attempting to transcribe through this story. This is definitely a selection that should be avoided by and young reader with any lack in patience or determination. This book is aimed much more towards scholars, historians, and English teachers.

Well written but can we say rambling and slow???

This book has no point! George Eliot was a great author and wrote it really well, but seems not to have put any sparkle in it! I'm being forced to read this in high-school and it is the dumbest thing I have ever read. If you want to find out about English life in that time, this book is worth a glance, but don't pay for it.just borrow from the library. Oh, and fix the adult form!!!!!! I'm 16 and can't login.

Family is what you make of it.

This heart-warming book tells the story of Silas, a bachelor who has lived alone for 15 years after being cast out from his town of origin. He's the village's weaver, and lives the life of a miser until little Eppie toddles into his cottage. He then starts to realize the true meaning of love and family. This book is a light, easy read and shows that blood is not always thicker than water.
