babaroga 's review for:

Old Goriot by Honoré de Balzac

4.0

---

Enjoyed this a lot. Old Goriot is masterfully put together, and even though the plot could drag at certain points, I found that to be easily ignored cause all the characters were so well developed, with a lot of depth that it just drives you to keep reading, which is something you don't often find in classical literature. This is also one of the most depressing books I've ever read. It made me mad and absolutely miserable but that's very much the point the point of the story.
