The Barchester Chronicles: Doctor Thorne (Dramatised) (Abridged) Audiobook

" Another wonderful volume of the Barchester Chronicles, rich in story and characters. "

" A nice story about an attractive, impoverished young woman who falls in love with a well-born, but debt-ridden young man whose family has decreed that he must "marry money." This vehicle allows Mr. Trollope to introduce the usual run of characters coming from all walks of life, and to comment on the virtues and hypocrisies of the time, all with his usual conversational good humor. I love Trollope, and of course I know he's discursive, but in this case I didn't think the story really was worth 493 pages. It's still great fun, however, and I can't wait to read the next one. "

" Includes a moving description of the alcoholic Sir Roger Scatcherd. The Doctor struggles to find a balance between professional responsibility, compassion and enabling in Sir Roger's dramatic death scene. "

" I would give this 5 stars, but I try to save that for books that change me. It was 5 stars worth of fun, though. "

" This is #3 in the Barsetshire series. "

" Why say something in a sentence when you can write a paragraph? Anthony Trollope takes pages and pages to get to the forgone conclusion but I can't help but read every word. True love must prevail. "

" Third in Barset novels. Centers around Dr. Thorne and Mary, an illegitimate ward of the doctor. "

" #3 of the Barsetshire Chronicles "

" True to the formula, and therefore ultimately uninspired. This is hardly the Trollope who wrote the charming book "The Warden" or the Palliser books, which r were so filled with political machinations and complex characters. "

" It was a very gentle romantic read. "

" I loved this book for it's Victorian love stories and it's beautifully crafted depiction of mid-19th C England. "

" Not as good aas the earlier ones. "

" Love the deep character development and expression of the inner person in the classics. It reminded me of the BBC production of Wives and Daughters. "

" I will NOT be reviewing the Kindle edition--but they didn't give an option in actual paper. When I finish the series, I hope to write a complete review detailing the series and why they are important to today's reader. "
