I got a little over halfway through...it was OK, but I just couldn't keep my mind from wandering when I read it. I put it down one day and picked up another book and can't bring myself to pick it back up. One day, I will read it from cover to cover.

This book was a massive undertaking and only made slightly easier by the fact that I was sick and therefore had lots of time to read. George Eliot is a master of characterization. In this book she brought to life a whole community of complex characters and made me care about what happened to them.

Did it take a while? Yes. Was it worth it? Definitely.
