Dr. Thorne is the stinker of the 12 novels. Quite the draggola, IMO; I know Bookpossum thought the same. Supposedly it’s John Major’s favorite novel, which tells the tale about
him. The last two Barsetshire novels were back up to form. Mrs. Proudie!
I did like
Phineas Redux; I thought the weakest of the Parliamentary books was the last. Then I read that it had been severely edited and that the original, roughly 50% longer, is much better and has been published. I still plan to read it, but the last time I looked it wasn’t available in digital (yet, I hope).
