Review	I love this book. I couldn't put it down. One night, I was reading it before falling asleep. (I always read in bed at night.) And yet I couldn't put it down, literally. I read and read and read until the birds started chirping outside and it was sunrise. So I read some more and then got ready for work, without having slept a wink the whole night. That's how this book really sucks you in. Hardy has this way of describing the English countryside, and the life and the times and the characters. It's just amazing. When Hardy describes Tess working in the fields, for instance, I really felt as though I were there. I loved every minute of it. I was truly sad when I finished this book. It was sad to think the story was over.
