Title: Delightful reading!
Review: The Moonstone is chock-full of everything a Victorian novel should have: vivid and colorful characters, intricate language, elaborate plots, and bizarre coincidences. The insight into Victorian ideas about race, class and gender alone gives it tremendous value and merit.This book simply shouldn't be read with modern expectations. Just sit back and let the story take you back to a different time and place. This edition with the explanatory notes is also very nice for any outmoded terms that you may come across.
