First of all, no words can describe how much I hate epistolary novels. Now that I'm finished, I'm going to drop this genre forever.
Secondly, I didn't like both Viscount Valmont and Danceny since the beginning, but it's in the very ending that my hate for them culminated.
LET'S BE FR NOW: CÉCILE DE VOLANGES WAS THE REAL VICTIM! OMG, IT INFURIATES ME SM!!! THIS BOOK SCREAMS: "CHEATING IS OKAY FOR MARRIED WOMEN (MADAME DE TOURVEL FAKE CHRISTIAN-ASS), BUT I DRAW THE LINE AT YOUNG GIRLS BEING DECEIVED, MANIPULATED AND BLACKMAILED BY ADULTS WHO WANT TO INVOLVE THEM IN THEIR TWISTED SCHEMES."
I WAS SPEECHLESS ABOUT MADAME DE ROSEMONDE'S BEHAVIOUR. NOT A FREAKING SINGLE SHADE FELL ON VALMONT, AS IF HE WAS ANY BETTER THAN MARQUISE DE MERTEUIL HERSELF. NOT TO MENTION DANCENY'S INFIDELITY. HE WASN'T TRICKED INTO LOVING THE MARQUISE, HE CHOSE HER!!! TO RESUME, BOTH VALMONT AND DANCENY HAVE A PERSONAL CIRCLE OF HELL DEDICATED TO THEM.

Abbreviated audio version. Very well done, more like a play than a book reading.
dios mío. Me dejo sin palabras. Pase del odio al amor, del amor al odio con los mismos personajes millones de veces. No esperaba el final ni a palos. La prosa exquisita...lo amé

Sex, lies, manipulation, schemes, corrupted innocence, betrayals, and bragging about it! All of these things and the manner in which they were woven into the letters made this a must read for me. I wasn't sure I'd enjoy this manner of telling a story but I can't see any other way for it to have been done. It allowed for multiple perspectives in far less words.
There was no hero in this story, only victims of malicious people, so if that's what you're looking for, don't bother picking it up.
I can only hope the movie adaptation is as fabulous.

This was an enjoyable treat from Audible. This was done as a play and I feel captured the main theme of the work. About 2 hours long, I still feel the need to read the novel at some point in it's entirety but having seen the movie, the play was entertaining.
