Although a tragedy in part, I loved this book--couldn't put it down, in fact. It takes some concentration, at least it did for me, because of the language and descriptions, but very worth your time. Oh, and I wanted to wring Michael Henchard's neck pretty much the entire time, but that's probably normal. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/826981?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
