I did not particularly like the storyline. I also did not like the bad guy characters.

Trollope has an interesting and wide variety of very different characters.

I did not want this book to end. I loved reading (hearing) about the machiavellian goings-on at Barchester Towers! Some great characters, with a he-devil and she-devils making it very entertaining indeed. Can’t go without complimenting the narrator - top notch for timbre, tone and tempo.

19th century Literature at its best
