  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

4.0

I can see why this is Flauberts' opus magnum, it is a wonderful look at all the evils through out history.  It also gives one hope in that with a belief in Christ all will be well.  Also a look at what can happen when one spends to long isolated from his fellow man.  Enjoy.
