Well I once took up his book Far from the maddening crowd and read the synopsis behind. Well the story went a loves b ; b loves c; c loves d; so on till z loves a.
I thought what kind of people would read his novels he is a soap author.
But now i am converted.
I once bought hi book The mayor of casterbridge the story line is almost the same.
But what was wonderful was his language, how he made such a stale subject a thriller( ccant put down stuff) , the agony and pain of the hero, heroine.
Their fight against the villian. It is better than the best Forsythe I read.
But the best part is you will feel pity for the villain and if you are faint hearted you will cry. Do try this out (not crying reading).
Happy reading.
