This book is talk about a beautiful girl who loved by three young men, and this beautiful girl Bathsheba married with Troy who was the worst guy of the three young men. Because the Troy was romantic guy and he known the stuff that women always like. But this happiness did not last for long time. Bathsheba found that Troy also dating with another girl Fanny. When Fanny was died, somebody said that Troy was frightened and run away. The other said Troy was fallen down into the sea.

Then Boldwood prepared a party to celebrated the Charismas Eve, but Troy was came back, because he spend all the money, then he was really died because Boldwood shoot him, so Boldwood was sent to the prison. At the same time, Gabriel told Bathsheba he wanted to some other place, now Bathsheba realized that Gabriel always helped her, and she loved this man deeply in the heart. It was happy ending; the storyline of this book is really interesting. My friend recommend it to me, now I strongly recommend it to other readers. ( )

I think the book is good and it has an unexpected ending.
It talked about a guy, named Gabriel Oak who was a young farmer and had his own farms. He loved a great lady who called Bathsheba Everdene, he also wanted to marry her.However, the lady fell in love with a handsome but selfish man- Sergeant Troy. And this story was develop around these three people.
I believe the book is worth to be read. ( )

This is a good story. Great with fantastic ending! it is show the real love end with marriage.

The story was very nice and I enjoyed it so much because the events of the story were connected together in a good way. One part has a great scene on describing the small part of the story, So I could complete it with curiosity to reach the end.

The story about one lady who lives far from the city. Three men fall in love to her, but she will choose the wrong man at the first, then everything will be fixed at the end of the story. ( )
