Not his best

A solid Trollope's, but by no means to the high standard of his classics. Enjoyed it as it was new to me, but plot and character development less than other books he has done.

Not a good example of Trollope.

insipid story with one dimensional characters. it looked like a short snappy story, but there was so little plot that it still felt repetitive and laboured.

Excellent but not Trollope's best

If you're coming new to Trollope, start elsewhere. The Palliser or Barset series or The Way We Live Now, as read by Timothy West. Yes, this one might seem a good place to start because of its much shorter length but it's not going to allow you to judge whether Trollope is for you. One could not think much of this but really be taken by his other work. Having done those, I am starting on the rest and really enjoyed this. After West, who seems perfect for Trollope, Mr Britten is among the best (at least to a British ear), his Thomas Hardy work is very good too,. Just because this is not IMO one of Trollope's top 10, doesn't mean it is not well worthwhile - it is rather a reflection of how I loved those named.
