vitsa 's review for:

The Wild Ass's Skin by Honoré de Balzac

2.0

---

I was very relieved to finally finish it. I struggled to get through it even though it was relatively short.

I am not sure I got the whole philosophical depth of it, but I did like the concept.
The idea that the power to wish for anything can make you a slave is interesting.

Spoiler

The last part grated on my nerves a bit. Raphael had been dying for so long that I wanted him to get on with it already!
