The Barchester Chronicles: Framley Parsonage (Dramatised) Audiobook

" Once again, Trollope doing what he does best: Skewering the hypocrisies and pretensions of English society, while providing opportunities for decent persons at all social levels to overcome adversity and achieve their deserved rewards. As usual, the female characters are most admirable and constant. Trollope's novels of 150 years ago have much to teach us. "

" Not my favorite in the Chronicles of Barsetshire--too much tense time spent on a bad debt situation--but still pretty wonderful. "

" I enjoyed this one at least as much as Dr. Thorne. I think my two favorite female characters created by Trollope are Lucy Roberts and Miss Dunstable. They alone make this book worth reading. "

" Spoiler: Dr. Thorne & Miss Dunstable - a match made on earth, and the better for it. "

" Another great Trollope. "

" Lent to me by Dayna. Enjoyed it, although skimmed thru some parts when talking in metaphors of British politics. "

" I heard of this book in an autobiography of Duff Cooper and thought I'd give it a try. I confess I couldn't get into it and took it back to the library unfinished. While I like English period pieces Trollope just didn't draw me in . I think I've been spoiled by Austen, Bronte, Eliot and Hardy. "

" This was much better than its predecessor. While I strongly suspected that things would work out in the end, there were some major obstacles to overcome and I wasn't sure how Trollope would resolve everything. "

" One of the better books in the series -- really enjoyed this one. "

" I love Trollope's description of marriage at the end, made me laugh, though I don't think it is supposed to. He's so insightful in human behavior... still! Lucy Roberts & Martha Dunstable are the only Trollope women that I like, they are great! This is my favorite Trollope book I've read so far. "

" Loved this. Great examination of pride (and prejudice) in its many forms. Highly recommend the series thus far - two more to go! "

" So hard to select my favorite among the Barset novels (it's a 5-way tie for first, with House at Allington in lone 6th); this is another winner. Beautifully told, intimate and expert handling of the human experience, even more than a century after their writing. "

" I found the language delightful, the characters charming, and the subject matter skullcrushingly dull. "

" This novel definitely is more enjoyable if you have read the previous books in Trollope's Barsetshire series. Victorian mothers scheming marriages and sons not obliging them, church politics, and men living beyond their means trying to convince heiresses to marry them - Framley Parsonage has it all! "

" I enjoyed this a lot. When I read Barchester Towers I had some difficulty with the language, but I didn't with this one. Either I got used to it, or this one is not so difficult. "

" 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. "
