cm93 's review for:

The Sorrows of Young Werther by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
3.0

It may be my cold, hardened 21st century heart but I did find Werther a bit -for lack of a better term- whiny.
That said, I found the language very beautiful and engaging to read. The dose of grisly reality that comes with a botched gunshot was an interesting touch too, it really drove home how pitiful Werther is :(
