aljosa 's review for:

Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert
5.0

I really enjoyed reading this. It may not be as quotable as I've thought it would be, but it was a good read. Flaubert was even trialed for "obscenity" in the novel. Rubbish. 19th century society was weird. I mean, I can't deny that the inventions and books written in the period were remarkable (my favorite century), but the society acted all weird.

I get it how Emma got bored with her husband and wanted something more of her life. But Leon and Rodolphe were horrible in the end. I mean, when Emma was in debt, they both refused to help her, even though she'd spent all the money on them.
