Myla's review
Adam Bede (Modern Library Classics) by George Eliot
I loved this book! It was just a mellow fun story to read nothing riviting me to my seat and then all of a sudden I was dying! I have never in my life been completely torn; I couldn't stop reading because I had to know what would happen at the same time I had to stop reading because I was afraid to see what would happen. Never in my life have I seriously considered flipping to the back of the book to see how it ends, and I am not a spoiler of plots. Not to be cliche but I laughed and cried and...just loved it. George Eliot's writing was so complete when it came to the character development that I knew each character...completely. The insight that she has of human emotions and personality complexities was amazing. She hit the nail on the head. Adam Bede now joins the ranks with Jane Eyre and others as one of my all time favorite books.
