slichto3 's review for:
Madame Bovary
by Gustave Flaubert
Prettily written, depressing, and extremely realistic. There are not many books with a character that you get to know so well and who feels so real as Emma. She is not even particularly likeable, and yet I really felt for her. In a way, she was very admirable. She was able to recognize the meaninglessness of her own life, but, when given the opportunity, she strove to live as voluptuously as possible. Her ambition is admirable but is probably the most important factor in making her unlikeable.
