Review #1

Almost as good as the book

As usual, Focus on the Family does a wonderful job at dramatizing this classic story. They use first-class voice actors and sound effects. However, this version does not quite reach the level of the original book. It is not that there is any lack of quality, but just that something is lost in translation when a book is dramatized. No matter how good a dramatization is, it loses some of the depth of the book.

However, this dramatization is high-quality entertainment and I highly recommend it. But if you like this dramatized version of Silas Marner, then you will like the original novel even more.




Review #2

A charming, delightful book, as sad as it was.

A charming, delightful book, as sad as it was. I just want to comment that this is a lovely edition of the book - well worth reading again.




Review #3

Sad, profound and beautiful!

Sad, profound and beautiful! One of the most moving books - ever written.

Forget if you had to read it in school or not, its needs to be read as a mature adult, after you have experienced something of like. I almost challenge anyone in their 30's to read it. 40 and over will understand it.

I wont go into a literary review, as that has been done for this book better than I can, I will just add this book is flawless, and beautiful.

Prepare to be moved!
