2.0 out of 5 stars Cousin Henry and Trollope procrastinate., 11 May 2002
By A Customer
The ending of 'Cousin Henry' is all too obvious and the book is drawn out and repetitive to the point of arousing great impatience. It is a slight tale that could have been got through in a hundred pages instead of the nearly three hundred. It is not in the league of Barchester or Palliser, and of the lesser novels 'Rachel Ray' is far superior. 'Cousin Henry' is about procrastination, and procrastination can be awfully boring. I would recommend this book only to those who are anxious to know all of Trollope.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cousin Henry - a short Trollope, 25 Jul 2009
By Bent Olsen (Denmark) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Cousin Henry (Oxford World's Classics) (Paperback)
Anthony Trollope is an amazing author. One may easily lose courage when picking up the first two - pound novel in a series of five, but after three pages you are helplessly hooked. Usually violent dramatic incidents are rare, but his descriptions of the reflections on moral dilemmas and ethical questions of his characters are extremely interesting. I suppose the secret of it is that the problems and situations that his characters are exposed to are of a kind which we all have or could have experienced.
"Cousin Henry" is no exception: a fairly trivial story of a lost will which is not, after all, quite lost gives rise to a marvellous description of a person who is really more spineless than criminal.
"Cousin Henry" is a must for fans and a good introduction for those who do not yet know Trollope.
