Kimber’s review of Far From the Madding Crowd > Likes and Comments

I have never got round to reading this Kimber. How are you finding it?

Happy to see you are reading this, Kimber, like Leila, I've never managed to squeeze this one in, but am now anxiously awaiting your thoughts on this!

I’m interested to see what you think of the book Kimber. I saw the movie years ago but never read the book.

I've just started it today, so I'm not far in, but the characters are already drawing me in, Leila.😊

Thank you, Cheri. It's early to tell, but I have a good feeling. The writing is lovely!😃

Thank you, Paula! I've not seen the movie, and I know nothing about the story. I'm excited to get into the thick of it!

Hope you love this, Kimber!

I'm really excited about you reading this, Kimber.
Hardy was such an accomplished writer and he threw everything but the kitchen sink at this masterpiece! : )

Thank you, Kevin! 😊
Boy did he ever! It was unputdownable! I absolutely loved it!

Fab review, Kimber!

Excellent review, Kimber!
It does tug on your emotions and I loved Hardy's use of symbolism throughout.
So pleased that you enjoyed this enduring classic. : )

So kind of you, Kevin!
It was an emotional rollercoaster! What a fabulous story and the writing is incredible!😊

I can only guess how quoting a 1983 hit is applicable to an 1874 fiction novel. I do know I like you, for familiarly thinking of one of my favourite songs and karaoke go-tos! I am Carolyn.

The words to the song fit the storyline well. Granted, the music might be a little progressive for 1874. 😉
I'm glad the song brought back a good memory! It's lovely to meet you Carolyn!😊

Fantastic review Kimber! This is another one I’ve had on my list for quite awhile... I need to get to these books😊

Thank you, Karen! It was fabulous! I read it in two days because I couldn't stop! I hope you love it as much as I did.😊

A wonderful review, Kimber on a great classic. I loved Thomas Hardy and some of his poems have stayed with me most of my life. Thanks!! :):)

Thank you so much, Peter! This was my first venture into Hardy's world, and it won't be my last! What a tale he tells. I'm glad that you enjoy his writing too!😊

I was in love with this book and Hardy years ago. Fond reading memories!

It is a wonderful read! I'm glad you loved it too, Elise.😊

Ooh, this is a dazzling review, Kimber! After my very recent, wonderfully positive experience with Hardy, I'm even more keen to read this one now!

What an exciting review!! I felt your excitement here. So glad you scored a good one, Kimber

Fabulous review Kimber!💖

It is fun to see a song that I know so well and which we clearly enjoy in common. I have seen Pat Benatar in concert, at a multi performer festival!

What a sparkling review! Love when a book stays with you!

Brilliant review Kimber 🌷

It is fun to share music with like-minded folk! 😊 You are a lucky lady, Carolyn! I never had the chance to see her live.

A beautiful, emotional review, Kimber!

Great review, Kimber. Though "Hit Me with your Best Shot" would have been my Benatar of choice 😉

Terrific review, Kimber. So good to lose yourself in an engrossing and satisfying book. I've only watched the movie (which I liked immensely) and am sure Hardy's writing is even more compelling.

Lovely review Kimber. I remember watching the movie version (always like to watch these classic tales).

Terrific review, Kimber! 💖
