Book Reviews of Far from the Madding Crowd (Modern Library Classics)
Book Review: Excellent novel
Summary: 5 Stars
Hardy's novel, I was surprised to find, lacked the sluggishness and wordiness sometimes found in nineteenth-century novels. His story moves just quickly enough to keep the reader hooked (an advantage, given that the novel was originally a serial) while giving a great deal of thought to the characters and their motivations and sentiments. Hardy's characters are generally well-formed and believable. An excellent read.
