4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable, attention-grabbing, BEST READ!!, Jul 31 2002

By	Pamela Morrison "sandysinanovic" (Australia) - See all my reviews

Ce commentaire est de: Penguin Classics Eustace Diamonds (Paperback)

Lucy Morris is a bore. If you like Jane Austen you will like this novel! It has all the necessary ingredients to keep you turning the pages. It's fun and charming to read just like its heroine Lizzie Eustace. Trollope argues that she is no heroine at all but it is when she appears that your interest is held the longest and that you laugh the loudest. She is wicked and selfish and vain and yet childike spoiled and that's what makes her great. Lucy Morris in comparison bores you with her goodness and her morality and her prim and proper attitude which although greatly admired in 19th century women leaves her nonetheless dull and insipid in comparison to charmingly wicked Lizzie.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Diamond, Jun 27 2000

By A Customer

Ce commentaire est de: The Eustace Diamonds (Oxford World's Classics) (Paperback)

It is hard to choose my favorite Trollope but this is definitely right at the top of my list. It has everything a novel needs to pique your interest and keep you turning the pages--love, intrique, mystery, jealousy. It is a must read for a Trollope reader. And do yourself a favor. If you have kids, introduce them to this prince.

5.0 out of 5 stars An equal among Victorian authors, Jun 10 1999

By A Customer

Ce commentaire est de: Penguin Classics Eustace Diamonds (Paperback)

It's a pity that such a well reknown writer of the Victorian era is so erased and forgotten in our days. Read Trollope, he's an equal unto Forster and Austen.
