Book Reviews of Tess of the D'Urbervilles (Penguin Classics)

Book Review: A terriffic yarn!
Summary: 4 Stars

Thomas Hardy is perhaps often overlooked as a novelist, and remembered more keenly for his poetry. however, Tess is perhaps one of the most interesting ENglish novels ever written. Though very Victorian in many ways, Hardy's story is amazingly modern and easy to relate to - even i as a male reader was able to relate to the troubles of Tess.

There are a few too many coincidences to make the plot stand out from the crowd, but its a great read. i encourage people to take it on holiday and see how compelling Hardy's writing really is
