Silas Marner...?,
By Janica (Tennessee,) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Silas Marner (Paperback)
So the story begins with this hermit of a man living (but at the same time not living) in the little town of Raveloe, but is not exactly there by choice. He was betrayed and framed by his best friend and lost his fiance to that same so-called friend. This gloomy and depressing beginning leads to a wonderfully happy ending. Sound familiar? Yes, Silas Marner is one of those "everything works out" kind of books, but in this case does that make it good? Well yes. Is it still interesting? Yes it is. Was it a page turner? Not exactly, but it reading it wasn't a waste of time. George Eliot's style is nothing short of classic. The character flaws are perfectly calculated especially with the character Godfrey whose mistakes add irony and slight comedy to the piece. This book comes short of perfect but it has comedy, death, betrayal, happiness, and a cohesiveness that is admirable.

Spanish translation problems,
By J. Scott - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
George Eliot's classic Silas Marner not the subject of this review, but rather the Spanish translation of that book. Somewhere in the trip from English to Spanish, all of the letters with accents and tildes are dropped. You would think it would print the english equivalent without the accent, but it actually omits the letter. This, none the less, makes for some interesting reading. If you are fairly advanced in you Spanish reading, or a native speaker, you can probably read right through it. But if you have to work at your reading in Spanish, this version will throw you for a loop. This is the version that shows up in a plain green and gray cover. I haven't checked out the other Spanish Edition versions.
