whatcanisay77 's review for:

Candide by Voltaire
1.0

Flat, stupid, emotionless characters lended themselves to this fake, overly-excited story.
Can Candide do nothing wrong? Can nobody truly die? Can the girl who Candide married (I can't be bothered to remember her name) have no good fortune?
In a book with at least three deaths, no one died. No one had bad fortune. The once-gorgeous chick ends up hideous. Candide fights for that once-gorgeous chick, and ends up totally changing his mind because she was ugly. The Baron ends up "evil". The goofy sidekick ended up... As a goofy sidekick...
I would love to see a Disney interpretation of this book, because it would lend itself amazingly as a huge Disney flop (John Carter anyone?).
