it is a really interesting clever read that i really liked which does wonderful things with characterization and really interestingly looks at the psychology of a couple of different characters

Cousin HenryAnthony Trollope
Loved it

it's one of anthony trump's shorter more focused novels and what i really liked it's very interesting henry is not a very nice character but when you follow him it's always very interesting to see inside his head so one i'd recommend definitely

it's so good and it's so clever and i love it and i love the way it looks at like victorian social values and kind of the way victorian society worked i just i just love this book so much

it is wonderful and fantastic and so clever and so well explored and like such a brilliant character study but also all the b plots and all the subplots going on in the background are also wonderful

in some ways i love it like it's one of those books where for the first like two-thirds of the book i really thought it was going to be like my new favorite anthony trollope book and then the last third slightly let it down

phineas finn that himself i find a little bit frustrating but the secondary characters especially the female secondary characters in phineas are really great

Rachel RayAnthony Trollope
Loved it

my main memory of rachel gray is that it's quite an interesting love story and that there is something to do with brewing and it's like set in a town based around a brewery which i remember finding really interesting at the time

i just really like the american senator i think it kind of explores its setting very well and also its characterization is just wonderful like a really superb characterization that charlotte sometimes does i love it very much

i love the duke's children a lot it follows mostly two siblings and their various kind of romantic relationships and romantic potential and also their kind of relationship with their father

i didn't hate the kelly's and the o'kelly's there were some things about it that i really enjoyed and there were some wonderful moments i liked one of the plot lines more than the other but the main thing i struggle with is that the pacing just felt wrong

The WardenAnthony Trollope
Loved it

i like the warden quite a lot i understand why some people start with it and find it a little bit dry because it is a lot about church politics but personally i find it quite interesting i really like it

i just i just adore this book in every way i think it is fantastic brilliantly paced with wonderful characterization brilliant exploration of marriage and gender and class i just love it i just love it so much
