founddrama 's review for:

Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert

1.0

---

This novel was like arsenic poisoning with page numbers. An effete precursor to The Bridges of Madison County (or so I would imagine). Even taken in context it fails to satisfy in either an aesthetic or intellectual capacity. As I recall from class, we did a review of some coded color symbols; I guess that was supposed to make it significant. (Not so much.)
