Fighting the good fight in rural Indiana
An underrated gem Considering the time it was written (1899) "The Gentleman From Indiana" is filled with forward thinking -- diversity, condemnation of prejudice, equal rights for women.As a native Hoosier, Tarkington is clearly projecting himself through the main character, offering insight into his own passage into middle age (at the ripe old age of 30!) and uneasiness facing mortality.More subtle and slower-paced than some of his more well-know works, such as "The Magnificent Ambersons," it's definitely worth forging through.Tarkington's eloquence shines.
Tarkington's First Work This isalso a characteristic and somewhat predictable love story that Tarkingtondelivers so easily, with a bit of a surprise ending for the reader.Thebook is wordy and contains mellifluous descriptions that drone on. However, despite it being slow, it picks up about 50% of the way throughand delivers a solid story.
A beautiful book While nearly all of his books that I've read have been this good, none has been better. Itcaptures to perfection (I think :) country life of the later 1800s, andpolitics as it fit into it. The descriptions are beatiful but not overdone,and the plot is gripping. Highly recommended. ...

Cold Blooded Caveat Emptor not a romance
Typical Early Tarkington What I got was a muddled story that was hard tofollow and unfeeling. A lowly Frenchman comes to England and notices a ladyin the upper class.She has noble blood.He worms his way into anintroduction with her under the guise of French nobility and a made uptitle.She is impressed with him until he is revealed to her as a mere"barber". Yet he is not all that he seems to be -- as the storyreveals much to the woman's regret ( after she learns the truth ). I amglad this book was short, otherwise I probably would've ditched it afterpage 50... but I figured I was already almost half way through and stuckwith it...It started to make sense near the end but there seemed to beabout 35 pages of confusion occurring. ...

Tarkington goes Political! Gibson, not wishing to concede to their demands, decides to fulfill their wishes.In a comical way, he simply hands over the rights to the factory -- letting the leaders of the strikers run it as they see fit.The workers unite and are excited over this prospect.However, this new routine quickly becomes their undoing as the factory's accountants leave and the workers become even more lazy.Of course, as Tarkington can only do, there is a love story here where Gibson and one of the striking workers have a "bond." This story was incredibly simple and pointed out some of the fallacies of the Socialist movement.While on some levels, the story works, yet on others it was a bit too contrived.All in all, though, the book/play was fun to read, despite the somewhat sappy plot and ending. ...
