[.ca] The Eustace Diamonds (ISBN 0679417451)

Enjoyable, attention-grabbing, BEST READ!!:
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.

Breathtaking, Fresh, A wonder TO READ!:
Anthony Trollope is fabulous. A suspenseful story of a vain young woman who's old bag husband dies, and soon enough the famous Eustace Diamonds are gone! Is it rightfully the woman's? Who claims to not know of it's whereabouts? Or is it the Eustace families? Hehe, what a treat to read!

Awesome and hilarious:
I had once heard a defination of a "classic as a book to be admired but not read." This book definately defied all that. It was great read. Funny, touching and warm. A witty husband, a pain for a wife. Do read. This is from a 18 year girl, so a must read for all.

An equal among Victorian authors:
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.

A Diamond:
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.
