The Mill on the Floss Audiobook

" 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. "

" A beautiful book about grace. Strongly influenced by Thomas a Kempis. "

" Review to come later, in the interest of not spoiling the text or poisoning the well for friends currently reading it. "

" Read in 6th Form together with Adam Bede also by George Elliot. "

" Really good story if a bit sad! Though took me ages to read thanks to the size of the book + uni work overload! "

" The mill on the Floss reminds my good old days of teaching English.I worked on it with my students several times.The hunch back who loves Maggie Tulliver.Her conflict against her family due to her thoughts & the men whom she loved.At the beginning of the novel,sth irritated me alot:the death of rabitts because of being neglected. "

" Ending was completely unexpected but necessary for the time it was written. Characters less developed than Middlemarch. "

" Preferred Eliot's book Middlemarch. Disappointing conclusion. "

" There are tons of geology metaphors. There is also a sister/brother relationship that is a little too close. It's a great book for increasing one's vocabulary and really stretching the brain. "

" Absolutely one of the best 19th-century British multiplot novels. One of my favorites. If you like Jo from Little Women and loved Wuthering Heights, read it and sigh. "

" Obviously a classic. I just wanted to give them all a good shake and tell them to live life and stop agonising "

" It's true - this book really picks up around page 500. Oy vay. "

" Book Club rating - 3 "

" I love me some george eliot, but WHOA didactic and sentimentalist. Not so much. "

" This book reminded me of Passing by Nella Larsen--an interesting, perfectly reasonable female character doomed by the narrative conventions and cultural expectations of the author's time and place. "

" Can you give less than one star? "

" One of my favourite books of all times, I read this at a very young age and it was the first book which made me cry! "

" Review to come later, in the interest of not spoiling the text or poisoning the well for friends currently reading it. "

" George Eliot is my hero. "

" One of my all-time favorites ... "

" I feel as though I could read this book only for the rest of my life and still be engrossed in it until the end. "

" Frustrating and depressing story; I found it tedious reading. "

" A little slowly paced, but a good book for a cold winter day, pot of tea and scones. "

" I watched the movie for this book last year and just found out it had a book. And it was so much better! :D "

" Depressing. :( But very good writing. "

" Ug. Hated the first 200 pages, and the last 2 pages. Loved the middle (very Jane Austen). "

" My poor brain will never recover from the tedious in this one "

" I simply love George Elliots writing. She draws a picture of life in an age where social lives were changing, where women were daring to be counted by whatever means it took. "

" Is it giving the plot away to declare that practically everyone in this story ends up miserable or dead? I enjoyed the tale well enough in the telling, but my, what a downer of an ending. "

" Silas Marner and Middlemarch are terrific. The Mill on the Floss is very good, but depressing as hell. Adam Bede is above-average. "

" Beautifully written - a classic you must read! "

" A throughly wonderful book, damn near broke my heart. "

" An absolutely brilliant piece of literature. Mill on the floss is a timeless treasure. George elliot's best works. "

" Very touching story with an unexpected conclusion! "

" The ending is very surprising. I looked at some reviews of this in the edition I read and they noted many thought the same thing. It was an interesting read and the ending, while surprising, makes lots of sense. "

" Preferred Eliot's book Middlemarch. Disappointing conclusion. "

" All in all, a very good nineteenth century novel. Though a bit sluggish in the beginning, it really grows on you as the story moves along and the characters develop and the plot thickens. This is the first George Eliot novel I've read. Not likely to be the last. "

" Not usually a fan of British literature--but this is growing on me. "

" This was the novel that started my love affair with classic literature "

" So good I read it in two weeks during the college semester while working and serving at church! "

" A difficult, classic read, that I wanted to enjoy more than I did. The writing is wonderful, the story depressing for me...just not what I was in the mood for at the time. "

" So good, but also so frustrating!! "

" Filled with superfluous prose and very depressing. "

" George Eliot rules the fascinating and selective world between Victorian fantasy and true modernism, and Middlemarch is one shining example of her expertise. Not just a good reads these are, but some of the very best. "

" Silas Marner and Middlemarch are terrific. The Mill on the Floss is very good, but depressing as hell. Adam Bede is above-average. "
