A review by losersfiction
Candide by Voltaire

4.0

A short and interesting book about optimism and hardship. Mr. Pangloss who believes that he lives in the best possible world and that everything that happens is for the best. Candide who is his friend and struggles to believe in Pangloss’s philosophy as life continually throws hardships his way. I enjoyed the book, as most of it feels comedic and the rest of it feels like a valuable discussion on optimism.
