The Mill on the Floss (Penguin Classics)
by George Eliot
Books like this are always fascinating to me. You're not sure if you like them or not, but they occupy your thoughts long after you read them. In my humble opinion, that makes it a good book. Maybe I should read it.

I feel very mixed about this book. In some instances the writing is drawn out and quite boring and it could have been told in under 500 pages. Yet the story line and the characters are strong and when the writing is focused on character developement and the plot the details are as vivid as you could hope for when reading. The second half of the book was engrossing and yet the ending left me with such mixed emotions I don't know how I feel yet. I won't give it away but I still feel emotionally torn. So as of now I give it 4 stars...it could be 3 or it could be 5. I can't decide.
