lizawall 's review for:
Old Goriot
by Honoré de Balzac
Money, money, money! Makes the world go round? I don't know, that's what they say. It sure does in Old Goriot, which I found convincing. Also so compelling that I missed my stop while reading it on the T, and accidentally rode the train to the end of the line. The main lesson I learned was that no matter how much you love someone, you shouldn't give them all your money or all your love, and especially not both, or you'll be left with nothing. Then again, maybe nothing is the best thing to have, so I guess the lesson is ambiguous. I liked how there is so much STUFF in Old Goriot. Why don't people write like that now? Wait, I heard there was a reason.
