The Mill on the Floss (Abridged) Audiobook

" Loved listening to this on audiobook. I found the ending a little disappointing, but overall I enjoyed the story. "

" A wonderful read, although I felt the ending was very abrupt. "

" The main character is so alive! "

" Beautifully written, but I really was bummed by the ending. I won't read it again, the poor girl. "

" So good, but also so frustrating!! "

" Great characters, difficult but entertaining language. Fun read, good story, but tragic. Bad things keep happening and at times narrator tries to be too profound. I thought there were too many metaphors throughout the narration (interestingly, the author says early on that metaphors are a sign of intelligence. coincidence?) I liked probably would have given it a 5 except that I didn't like the ending! Too dramatic and ties up too neatly. "

" What a fantastic read! The 19th century English litterature lover that I am had been wanting to read this book for ages. I really enjoyed Eliot's beautiful writing and her depiction of Maggie & Tom's relationship. "

" This book is too long and I never really felt for the characters so when tragedy happens I didn't care --I just wanted the book to be over. "

" This book doesn't seem to have a plot at first, but then it gets really good, and I wrote a paper on this and got an A so I remember it fondly. "

" I gave up for now. I really want to read this book, but it is one of those texts that I have to be in just the right mood to appriciate and absorb. I'll come back to it. "

" I thought Maggie came off as a huge brat. "

" The thing I remember most about this book is the sibling relationship depicted. Emotes a warm feeling when thinking back on having read this novel. "

" A very interesting novel but a tragic ending. "

" It is the most beautiful novel i have ever read. "

" Make it 3.5 for the ending. But with all its flaws, it's still George Eliot. "

" Honestly, I couldn't finish this on my second read. Back in grad school I found this book quite emotionally moving, but I didn't hold my interest all these years later. "

" I realized that when I was relieved when she finally drowned, I had probably missed the point of this. "

" I gave up -- too antiquated. Maybe someday when I have endless time (haha!) "

" Long. So long. Beautifully written, especially the compelling opening description. And wonderfully narrated by Nadia May in the audio version. But it just goes on and on, with whole chapters I didn't care about. And then the ending... Ugh. "

" Cute, but depressing ending. "

" You know what? I didn't finish; I wasn't into this book. It's okay that I don't like it, right? Victorian literature is apparently not my thing. Moving on! "

" Definitely enjoyable; Maggie's childhood perspective is endearing and rings true. However, the suddenness of the ending and it's completely unnecessary drama ruins what would have been a fantastic book. "
