A nicely written story, Anthony Trollope certainly paints a beautiful picture in describing the city of Barchester. You are easily transported there and are able to picture the characters in this story.

The story itself is a bit bland, it plods along and achieves very little which is a shame. The conclusion though is brilliant, you get informed of the future of all the characters, even minor ones.

This book is part of a trilogy, I think I will be giving book 2 a go, just for the chance to revisit Barchester.
