(4,241 Sterne; 81 Bewertungen)
Phineas Finn is the sequel to “Can you Forgive Her?” and the second novel in Trollope’s Palliser series. The eponymous hero is a young Irishman who becomes a member of the English parliament. Trollope aspired to become an M.P. himself, and he ably describes the workings of the English political scene. There is also a love interest, as the somewhat inconstant Phineas courts three different women: his Irish sweetheart, Mary Flood Jones; Lady Laura Standish, the daughter of a prominent Whig politician; and a lovely heiress, Violet Effingham. (Summary by Karen Merline)

Why do so many readers read like there’s a comma after every five words? This always drives me to either use Siri to read the book online or just read it in an EPUB app. Clarity can be accomplished without being so pedantic.

Very good book, but some of the readers are very unpleasent , particularly one. Thenkfully, he read very few chapters, and Inhope he won't be reading any from the next book.

POLITICAL STORY
(3 Sterne)
The reader Andy should not put herself forward as a reader. She partly mumbles does not articulate clearly, let’s her voice drop , and has a strong accent not easy to follow. Unfortunately she reads the last chapter. Had to skip it in irritation A pity. Good political story. Beautifully read by most.
