Though it took me a WHILE to get into Middlemarch, giving this book anything less than 3 1/2 stars would be criminal. The insights, the writing, the sheer scope of the story. Wow. Just wow. It took some time to get used to the book's use of an omniscient narrator, because, despite its usefulness, it felt like a barrier keeping me from connecting to the characters. The writing also still isn't my cup of tea per say, but there are some stunning lines embedded in this text. I'm glad I read it, and if you're wanting a long book to work through, I definitely recommend Middlemarch. It was well worth the time and energy.
