" Far From the Madding Crowd, based in London in the late mid-to-late 1800's, is about a young girl, Bathsheba, and her three suitors, Troy, Oak, and Boldwood. In this book by Thomas Hardy, Bathsheba battles with herself on her actions, and on which man to marry while the three men battle for her love. I really liked this book, because it had a really good story line, but Thomas Hardy is very descriptive. Sometimes the descriptions were a little boring, but Far From the Madding Crowd is definitely a classic love story. "
