Encore une fois, si je lis ce livre, c’est en raison d’un élément de la culture populaire récente. Pour faire court, un remake de ce roman au même titre est sorti sur Netflix avec cette twist : ça se faisait en contexte moderne. Par contre… sans vouloir gâcher quoi que ce soit, le film est une catastrophe ambulante : mauvaise trame, mauvais jeu d’acteur, mauvaise adaptation, tout simplement. Alors, j’ai voulu lire le roman originel pour voir s’il valait plus le détour.

Mon verdict : oui, oui il en vaut la peine.

Oh what a wicked web we weave and what an enlightening revelation on just how much sex and virtue and fidelity play prominently in pre-revolutionary France.

When two hedonistic people have too much time and money on their hands, lives are ruined.

The culprits get their comeuppance, but the win is not satisfying as the damage done is sadly already irrevocable for all parties involved.

It was actually quite enjoyable, plenty of drama and whatnot. I feel like it would have been better if it was a bit shorter, but it was quite interesting. I have to write a paper on it, and I’m actually excited to write it which is a good sign.

For some reason I thought I would enjoy this more than I did.
