Middlemarch. A terrific read. Even though it was written about two hundred years ago, its characterization of human nature is just as true today. Recommend highly.

Typos. While I appreciate that this download was free, there are far too many typos. George Eliot would be irritated.

One of the best Victorian novels. Yes, it's long and it contains references to English Reform Bills and the like which Americans may find obscure, but "Middlemarch" is rich in wonderful characters, wisdom, wit and beautifully written prose. As with all great novels, you become very attached to the characters, who, despite how different their lives are from our modern lives, are so full of human folly and nobility that you don't want your acquaintance with them to end. A masterpiece.

Beautiful classic. This edition is chock-a-block with typos and was never properly proof read. The story survives, but the next edition definitely needs to be improved.

Wished this book would never end. Nearly 900 pages, yet I was sorry to part with Dorothea and her Middlemarch fellows. Dorothea, a new literary heroine for me.

Wow!. What an amazing novel! The last line says it all, but you have to weave through a dizzying array of characters and plots to get there. I read this in college, enjoyed it, and have always carried the professor's advice to read it again in middle age. Now, I have dutifully and gratefully completed by final college assignment almost thirty years later. Many will say the book is too long or boring, but we who have read it can see that they just don't get it.

Among the greats of English Literature. Reading “Middlemarch”, it is clear why it is so highly regarded. I even began to wonder why not more highly regarded. The story goes from strength to strength, not flagging as long novels often do, but actually increasing interest as the stories unfold. Great insights into the social life of English country life in the 1830s and great insight into the singularity of the human condition through all time.

Middlemarch. This time in reading Middlemarch I particularly noticed the issue we all face when dating and contemplating marriage and that is that we take what we know of a person and what we feel we can expect out of life and we paint a picture that is never fulfilled as we envisioned it. The people in this book honored their covenant made in marriage despite their unhappiness. That is no longer a usual occurrence. George Eliot writes magnificently.

Wow!. Outstanding! In her own unique style and flourish, Elliot penned a masterpiece akin to the realism of Hardy. Each character is portrayed with all their particular vices and virtues. So human.

Middlemarch. I am the least qualified individual to write a review of this, or any, book. However, I can't resist. This is the most beautifully written book that I have read in a long while. I am 61 years old and have been a reader all my life. The novel has been reviewed hundreds of times because it is so magnificent. The month that I have spent with this book has been so wonderful. Read it. If you want to know why, read one of the competent reviews written about it. They don't come close to the experience of actually reading it, just so you know!

Middle March. Wonderful book on a small town and the people in it. All are very human in their strengths and flaws. George Elliot has a talent for understanding and describing the very soul of her characters. I enjoyed reading this although the language was tough at first. I stuck with it and was rewarded with a great story.

Read it. What an ending! Well worth the wait.

Middlemarch. One of the best - still relevant. MIddlemarch does not disappoint

A Masterpiece that Pulls at one's Heart. One of the most compelling books I've ever read- the descriptions of the characters in their social setting and the deep psychological descriptions left me continually experiencing joy to be immersed in the heart rending situational circumstances. The characters one comes to know intimately through their trials and tribulations are priceless. George Eliot brings to life individuals of great evil, but also human beings whose actions provide a beacon to lead us mortals to aspire to greatness. I highly recommend this book!

In a class by itself. A masterpiece of insight into the nuances of human feelings. Far more modern than the time in which it was written.

Middlemarch. Insightful, profound, prescient. A good read.

No cover. Please add a suitable cover.

A classic for sure. A classic of literature far ahead of its time!

All time fav. Beautiful novel

The Best, With Typos. Middlemarch is the greatest novel in the English language. However, this edition contains a disconcerting number of typographical errors.

Slooooow. This book reads at the speed of molasses in January. The story line doesn’t start until chapter 20! Everything before that is background for characters that mean nothing since you haven’t engaged with them in a story yet. Often times, by the time I got back to a character I could barely remember who they were since it had been over 100 pages since I last read about them. Not a fan.

A Masterpiece!. This is one of the most beautiful works of the writer. Marvellous!

Middlemarch. A very great and inspiring book.

The takeaway. This book has taught me a lesson of empathy and compassion. It has not been done by using instructions, so I am just summarising the most precious thing I got out of it. Nothing too significant happens in the book, but thereby it does not pretend to be amusing in a habitual sense. Nevertheless, it was not overload with descriptions and employed more action-based approach using verbs. The book kept me all the way through; and there were many times, during a relatively long time I have been reading it, when I came to it as my splendid refuge.

Glorious!. Such beautiful writing!

A World. Once I was through the first couple of chapters and adjusted to the style, I was immersed in an entire world. The main plot and characters - well it's probably a bit apologist given Eliot's own life and personally I find Dorothea irritating- but the intertwined subplots are masterful, peopled with characters so beautifully sketched they appeared in my dreams after the first time I read this. Every time I reread this, my heart breaks a little that Eliot didn't have time to write more. Wonderful.

engaging. characters are richly defined with engaging thought processes of logic to tell story of interwoven web of life in Middlemarch. i was after victorian drama, but told differently and exulted in knowing the male handle is a guise for a women's authorship.
