Phineas Redux Audiobook

" Another great book in the Palliser series. Loved it! :-) "

" Excellent. One of those great books where I enjoyed the journey through it as much as finding out what happened. "

" Started over and I enjoyed this book much more. This is the 4th of the Palliser novels - full of British politics, Victorian society and the changing world. "

" I'm struggling a little more through this series than others of Trollopes. The super long political chaptes get me feeling a little sleepy :) This did have some really good points about how vitriolic the offended newspaper man can be, and how damaging to one's political career it can be if one doesn't vote exactly with his party on every issue. "

" phineas finally gains self knowledge and finds the love of his life; wouldn't you know, she was always there waiting throughout those 900 pages "

" I re-read the Palliser novels about every five years. They are just fab! "

" Very heady topics for a Victorian novel. A woman estranged from her husband confesses her love to another man. Murder, bigamy, and Parliamentary intrigue. Fascinating, entertaining, and insightful. Plus the fabulous Lady Glencora. "

" Perhaps not my favourite of the Palliser novels so far. As others have said, the first half is too focussed on the church disestablishment issue which Trollope must have been on a soapbox about at the time. Even book 2 doesn't make the most of the suspense around Phineas' predicament (which I won't divulge)but it does keep his marital intentions a mystery until almost the end of the book. "

" This volume has a little bit of everything--relationships, detective work, politics, psychology--but you won't appreciate it fully unless you have read the three previous novels in the series: Can You Forgive Her, Phineas Finn, and The Eustace Diamonds. "

" Conveniently widowed Phineas makes it back to Parliament to relive the glory of his early political career, but maturity brings him a lot more than he bargained for. I get why people love it, but I just liked it. "

" 4th book in the Palliser Saga but basically a direct sequel to book 2 and fixes the ending of that book :) Some of the political back and forth is hard to follow from 175 years in the future in a different country, but I still enjoyed my time with these characters and the second half picks up. "

" Very enjoyable read. I happened to read Eustace Diamonds first, so I read Phineas Finn and Phineas Redux back to back. He's a very strong character, and it was a pleasure to accompany him through the two novels. "

" I didn't like this book nearly as well as the three previous in the series. Actually I found Phineas Finn a bit slow going too. Perhaps it is the amount of space devoted to the British Parliament. Let us hope we have heard the last of the virtuous but tedious Mr Finn. "

" Excellent. One of those great books where I enjoyed the journey through it as much as finding out what happened. "

" Fourth of the Palliser novels, some people might be bored by their focus on imaginary politics, but I couldn't put it down! Phineas returns to Parliament in this book, but soon encounters some devastating trouble. Of course Lady Glencora and Mme Max Goesler interest themselves in his troubles. "

" Phineas ends up with Madame Max. Poor Lady Laura ends up miserable. Trollope is definitely an addiction; somehow even his weaknesses are charming. I listened to a recording by Timothy West I got through Audible. West is wonderful. "

" Another fine novel by Trollope: sprawling, sometimes overly wordy, but full of sharply delineated characters, strange turns of plot, 'happy endings' and life as it was lived by the upper classes in England 150 years ago. "

" I like Trollope's novels. He created a complete world with people you enjoy following from novel to novel "

" Apparently Trollope decided to go for edge-of-your-seat fiction for a spell. A great follow-up to Eustace Diamonds. "

" I'm about halfway through the audiobook of this, read by Timothy West. This one's a nailbiter. Yes, Trollope wrote nailbiters. :) "

" This is number 4 in the "Palliser Novels" series. I love this series! Although this one could have been 100 pages shorter and been the better for it. It gets a little redundant by the end. But a great plot. "

" A mature "coming of age" story in some sense. Unlike most coming of age stories, Phineas begins as a responsible adult. By the end though, he has become a wise and sober adult. "

" Another great book in the Palliser series. Loved it! :-) "

" This is #5 in the Palliser Novels. There are 6 books in this series. "
