Tess of the d'Urbervilles

I just finished reading Tess of the d'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy.  This book was about a young girl and her life over a span of about six years.  The book chronicles everything that happens to her both good and bad.  I don't want to disclose too much about the plot of the book so I will keep this post short.
Tess is a really great book.  I had a hard time getting into the book but by the end, I loved it.  I would reccommend this book to everyone who is at least seventeen or older.  This is due to some of the events in the book.  It is a book for mature audiences only.  That said, I would love to hear what you think about it.  Let me know if you have read it, and if you haven't enjoy the book!
