The Forsyte Saga: Complete Three Volumes

The paperback with the woman in a red dress on the cover is a very poor quality print - looks like a knock-off. Tiny text with huge margins. The copy on the back cover appears to be from another edition of this book, but rearranged by someone who is not a fluent English speaker.

I started watching a BBC episode of The Forsyte Saga and then I was intrigued and dying to know what happened! So I read the book and it was very good, a little sad with happy moments (just like life) and a lot of philosophical ramblings which I enjoyed but it slowed the pace. Definitely worthwhile reading. Great example of Victorian life and how it slowly changed. I wound up feeling badly for EVERYBODY. Especially Soames, if you can believe that.

Print font is set in 8-point mouse type. All nine books are run and slapped together. I could not read any of it without a magnifying glass. So I have set it aside and will give it away eventually. A waste of money!

The print is a 4 font. Didn’t get through the Preface without feeling eye strain even with my readers. Then, when trying to return, there was a $6 charge for the only UPS Drop Off we have in our rural area! Total waste of money. 😞

Shipping was fine. However, this imprint has type size that requires a magnifying glass to be able to read! You are better off purchasing each volume separately and having readable type!

This was a photocopied book with tiny print with a strangely stretched front cover. A total scam which had to be returned.

Did not enjoy the writing, it was in UK language and very hard to read, also the printing was VERY small. I was hoping for a clearer version as I would have loved to read the complete series. Not your fault in any way

Dense, interesting, but written with a heavy British prose style that was hard to make my way through. If one has a lot of time and patience, it is worth the read, but for a typical 21st century reader with shorter attention span, could be more difficult.

Having little recollection of the TV series of years ago I came afresh to the story. At first I had problems with establishing who was who - a difficulty with Kindle is that you can't ruffle back the pages - but found the whole story fascinating. Perhaps being older I was more forgiving and could see every point of view. It represented a time, class and situation which was quite foreign to me and I enjoyed it the more for that. I some ways I thought it rather detached when talking of the war, injuries and even death of a young man and didn't feel any involvement in this. All in all this is a book that I would hope to read again.

The print is tiny, I struggled with it. Even with strong reading glasses I found it heavy going. The tv series was true to the book and its been interesting reading what inspired the tv series.

I haven’t started to read this yet as I have had to order magnifying glasses. Ridiculously small print.

hard going at times, but I saw it first on tv so difficult to compare

The Kindle version is fine as far as it goes, but despite it being advertised as "all 3 volumes" it in fact only contains volume 1.
