Posle mesec dana čitanja, mislila sam da će mi biti lakše kad završim priču o Emi Bovari. Razvlačila sam ovu knjigu, a bilo je dana kad je bukvalno nisam ni dirala. Nije mi bilo jasno zašto se u suštini nije desilo ništa na više od pola knjige. A upravo to je ono što je Flober radio da bi bolje razumeli Emu.
Kad sam je završila, jedno dvadeset minuta sam, uznemirena, zurila u zid. Nisam imala nikakvu predstavu o radnji romana kada sam počela sa čitanjem i nisam znala šta da očekujem. Ipak, na mene je ostavio toliko snažan utisak da poslednjih dana ne mogu da izbacim porodicu Bovari iz glave.
Knjiga se sigurno može tumačiti na više načina, a za mene je najznačajniji sledeći zaključak: s vremena na vreme se treba osvrnuti i biti zadovoljan onim što imaš!

I wanted to like this book more than I ended up actually enjoying it. Actually, the first third wasn’t too bad, but the rest? Oh my.
I think I actually ended up finishing it out of spite because oh it started to drag. Emma is not one of my favourite characters or even on of my least favourite characters. She comes into a category all of her own; people I would cross the street to avoid. How are we supposed to feel sorry for poor Emma who spends the entire novel whinging that she doesn’t live in the heights of luxury, having multiple affairs, lying to her devoted husband, getting the family into debt and ruining herself?
Beats me, but I didn’t. I get the moral of the books is be happy with what you have, but jeez.

Puedo reconocer el clásico que es,pero aun así no ha conseguido en ningun momento que yo me interese por la historia o los personajes y me ha parecido aburrido...
My teachers recommended this book, so I thought I had to read it. I liked the story and the writing style as well. The plotline itself was also nice to read, but sometimes it was a bit boring * to be honest.

I was just bored. And I had the ending spoiled for me just by looking information up about the author. But that turned out to be a good thing because it made me realize that I didn’t really want to read that depressing process in its entirety.

Probably this is the best use of climax I have ever encountered: as much as Emma's life spirals downward, the tensions grows and the rhythm speeds up, leaving the reader waiting breathlessly for a conclusion.
