"The "Jewish Section" was a little icky. Eliot's characterization of Mordecai, and the culture made me uncomfortable. The Gwendolyn/Grandcourt was icky in another way - reminded of Henry James' novel. Man, George Eliot is excellent. " — Kerry (4 out of 5 stars)

" I"m sad it's over. What a good read. And such keen observation of human beings, while at the same time being a delightfully turning tale. "
" Great book and characters you'll never forget. "
" One of Eliot's lesser known works, this novel is concerned with race, which is kind of unusual for a Victorian novel. Not an easy read, but something different if you're ready for a challenge. "
" my least favorite Eliot so far; she is a great writer but there is just toomuch commentary, makes for very slow-going "
" Just happened upon this with no intention of ever reading George Eliot. It's very good and is a great look at class, gender, and religious differences and standing in the 19th Century. "
