But don't let that discourage you because it was a wonderful book! And once I got used to Eliot's style, the book was easy to read. This is a book full of little morals and Eliot does a great job of portraying some dramatic scene then summing up in a few sentences the nature of humans in relation to preceding moments in such a perfect way that you jab your finger into the book and say, "Yes! Yes! That's spot on!"

I think the entire book boils down to love/selflessness versus greed/selfishness. I'm a sentimentalist so I like how it turns out.

Side note: I found it terribly funny that he had a character (a very minor character only named once in the novel) named Ann Coulter who had a retarded child (p15).]]>
