Manon Lescaut by Abbé Prévost

2.0

I read it for a coursera class on relationships. It was very appropriate. However, the book seemed to drag on despite getting the real takeaway of the story pages ago. The writing style was entertaining at first but became a major factor in the book dragging on. It's narrated in a constant sense of urgency, which gets you through the first half of the novel quick. But then annoys you the second half. Not a bad book, but not a great book.
