jackroche 's review for:

Candide by Voltaire
adventurous funny fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I knew this was going to be a fun read as soon as he named a German territory “Thunder-ten-trockh”. It’s just so damn silly that it works even if Leibniz, the Jesuits, and Voltaire’s personal enemies are the targets for satire that they used to be.
