If you are getting married
Everyone should read this book before they get married. George Eliot is a master at rendering human character. She is a true sympathizer with the human condition, and merciless at the same time. Beautiful.

Like wading through melted chocolate
This is definitely an important book by an important female author. It's a lot a page turning, but well worth it. Take your time and enjoy.

Outstanding!
Absolutely loved the book. Could not put it down. Terrific and eloquent writing style. Phenomenal authorship. Very profound and human plot. One of the best books ever read. Highly recommend to those who like classics and do not mind a slow development in the beginning.

A Sweeping Epic Against a Crimson Sky
"Against a Crimson Sky" takes a gripping historical look at the final partition of Poland (1795), it's people, and tells the personal story of the Stelnickis. Martin uses a grand, sweeping style reminiscent of epic storytelling to paint a vivid picture of the era. "Against a Crimson Sky" is a book that can easily be visualized on the movie screen. The story beings in 1794 shortly after the ...

A Polish Love Story in the Time of King Stanislaw
This excellent novel, which gets its name from the Polish proverb "Push not the river; it will flow of its own accord", is the story of two cousins, both countesses, who are in love with the same untitled man in a period of eightieth century history, a time when Russia, Prussia and Austria were bent on conquering and dividing Poland. The characters are well developed, the dialogue is free ...

Probably The Best Novel On 19th Century England & The Industrial Revolution
George Eliot, (nom de plume of Mary Ann Evans), wrote a literary masterpiece with "Middlemarch." I was forced to read this novel in school at an age when term papers and grades meant more than absorbing the riches this book contains. I reread it recently, after thirty years, and it was/is so worth the revisit! The Barnes and Noble Classic Series Edition of "Middlemarch" contains an excellent ...

A Masterpiece that's even better on ebook
First off, I have to comment how nice it was to read this book on ebook. I remember starting to read Middlemarch several years ago on a paper book, and I didn't get past Dorothea's marriage to Casaubon. The book was so hefty and intimidating that I thought I would never finish, so I didn't. Actually trying to keep the book open to the right page was also very trying, and I suspect this also had ...

As classics go, it's pretty classic
Rarely have I enjoyed a classic with more surprise than Middlemarch. It looks to be an endless and boring morality tale from the plot summary, but reads like a work of high psychological art. The only other writer who has taken me so convincingly inside the thoughts of so many characters is Shakespeare. A strong compliment, but Eliot shows that she had the goods and somehow weaves an epic and ...

Great book, great reading
I really enjoyed this performance of my favorite book of all time. I'm mostly writing a review because I think the star rating is excessively low and would like to tip the balance a little higher to say that it is worth listening to this audiobook. Also, there is a great article in the new york times by Verlyn Klinkenborg about listening to Middlemarch while driving across the united states. I ...

Rivals Jane Eyre
Having searched on Amazon for the the audiobook version of Middlemarch, I finally came upon this MP3 version on 2 CDs, which costs much less than others. The narrator Nadia May is a capable and experienced reader that knows how to capture the essence of words and sentences. The novel itself I would rate a 5-star, and in my humble opinion, the only novel in existence that could be equally compared ...

Brilliant eloquence
I read Middlemarch 30 years ago for a highschool assignment. It was over my young head. Making it through the 900 pages was like climbing a mountain and back. It took me about 600 pages to get into the book, and hundreds of pages were devoted to the politics and goings on of the time - something I had little interest in. A more mature reader would probably have found that fascinating. YET - ...
