I just finished Silas Marner and I loved it! Thank you for making a video on it, I'm always happy to hear what other people think of the books I've read. As you said, George Eliot is such a great realist writer. Reading this book felt like being transported to Raveloe, sitting right next to its inhabitants, listening to them tell their tales. It was a very immersive and interesting!

@vevoreads You are most welcome.
I'm glad you loved the book! I do recall liking Marner's neighbor and her little boy. I don't recall their names now but some of their scenes were so heartwarming.
Thank you for watching the video!

Yes Ankita, I am a George Eliot fanatic, so of course I have read both Middlemarch and Silas Marner. I am glad that you enjoyed both of these novels more than I did - they are the two least in my personal opinion The things that stand out to me about Silas Marner is that it has one of George Eliot's most dastardly villians and old Silas needs to learn how to lock his door - how many people stumble in and out of his house?? HAHA. Oh!! great, I am glad to hear you are planning on Mill on the Floss next, it is one of my favorites but VERY different from both the novels you read. Since you asked, my personal favorite by George Eliot, and I have read everything she wrote, is her final novel and masterpiece Daniel Deronda. Thank you for the video.

Joseph, thanks for watching the video! Now that you’ve said these two are your least favorite novels by Eliot, I’m really looking forward to reading her other novels! :D
Oh, yes, the Cass brothers!
Great, I’m adding Daniel Deronda to my reading list right now. Thanks! 😊

@@enchantedbookendz - Thanks for beware, my opinions are in the minority. I am aware that Middlemarch is the most brilliant thing I ever read - but I spent 18 months on it and it was not an enjoyable experience to get through HAHA but I acknowledge that it is an amazing work of literature! Daniel Deronda is just as long, but in my mind much more coherant with the two major plot lines interwoven seamlessly. Whatever you decide, I hope you enjoy your next George Eliot read and I am looking forward to hear more of your opinions on her work. George Eliot is indeed amazing!
